In this chapter, the theory of radiative recombination is first discussed in terms of a rigorous quantum mechanical model. Subsequently recombination is discussed in terms of a semi- classical model based on equilibrium generation and recombination. This model was developed by van Roosbroeck and Shockley (1954). Finally, the Einstein model of spontaneous and stimulated transitions in a two-level atom is discussed.
