Abstract
The principle of optoelectronic modulation spectroscopy (OEMS) is expl ained. Examples of its use in three different measurement modes are de scribed and it is shown that the energy locations of mid-gap bulk and interface states can be ascertained when the sub-band-gap admittance a nd depletion modes are used together; the band with easiest electrical communication is also revealed for each state. Using super-band-gap r adiation allows spectral features associated with resonant electron st ates to be observed directly without the need to distort the band stru cture.
