This book covers the device physics of semiconductor lasers in five
chapters written by recognized experts in this field. The volume
begins by introducing the basic mechanisms of optical gain in
semiconductors and the role of quantum confinement in modern
quantum well diode lasers. Subsequent chapters treat the effects of
built-in strain, one of the important recent advances in the
technology of these lasers, and the physical mechanisms underlying
the dynamics and high speed modulation of these devices. The book
concludes with chapters addressing the control of photon states in
squeezed-light and microcavity structures, and electron states in
low dimensional quantum wire and quantum dot lasers.
The book offers useful information for both readers unfamiliar with
semiconductor lasers, through the introductory parts of each
chapter, as well as a state-of-the-art discussion of some of the
most advanced semiconductor laser structures, intended for readers
engaged in research in this field. This book may also serve as an
introduction for the companion volume, Semiconductor Lasers II:
Materials and Structures, which presents further details on the
different material systems and laser structures used for achieving
specific diode laser performance features.
* Introduces the reader to the basics of semiconductor
lasers
* Covers the fundamentals of lasing in semiconductors, including
quantum confined and microcavity structures
* Beneficial to readers interested in the more general aspects of
semiconductor physics and optoelectronic devices, such as quantum
confined heterostructures and integrated optics
* Each chapter contains a thorough introduction to the topic geared
toward the non-expert, followed by an in-depth discussion of
current technology and future trends
* Useful for professionals engaged in research and
development
* Contains numerous schematic and data-containing illustrations
