Abstract

Green's-function techniques are applied to the investigation of phonon-assisted optical absorption in semiconductors. Different processes involved in phonon-assisted absorption are found, corresponding to different second-order diagrams in the expansion of the polarization function. Agreement is reached between the present theory and conventional perturbation theory. Some possible refinements are discussed.
