An important characteristic of the scientific activity surrounding the light emission from silicon is its ability to progress quickly in many different directions and to open new questions as soon as it is tried to answer others. Researchers have now the choice between different and concurrent explanations of the visible light emission. The characterisation of the material and optical properties are more and more advanced. New silicon structures show similar properties. Abinitio calculations are able to handle some aspects of the light emission. The application of porous silicon for electro-optical devices also shows progress, the efficiency of electroluminescence has been enhanced and it can be tuned continuously over the whole visible range, the photoluminesence can be modulated by an external voltage, etc. All these aspects and numerous others are presented in this book.
