The semiconductor laser, invented over 50 years ago, has had an
enormous impact on the digital technologies that now dominate so
many applications in business, commerce and the home. The laser is
used in all types of optical fibre communication networks that
enable the operation of the internet, e-mail, voice and skype
transmission. Approximately one billion are produced each year for
a market valued at around $5 billion. Nearly all semiconductor
lasers now use extremely thin layers of light emitting materials
(quantum well lasers). Increasingly smaller nanostructures are used
in the form of quantum dots. The impact of the semiconductor laser
is surprising in the light of the complexity of the physical
processes that determine the operation of every device. This text
takes the reader from the fundamental optical gain and carrier
recombination processes in quantum wells and quantum dots, through
descriptions of common device structures to an understanding of
their operating characteristics. It has a consistent treatment of
both quantum dot and quantum well structures taking full account of
their dimensionality, which provides the reader with a complete
account of contemporary quantum confined laser diodes. It includes
plenty of illustrations from both model calculations and
experimental observations. There are numerous exercises, many
designed to give a feel for values of key parameters and experience
obtaining quantitative results from equations. Some challenging
concepts, previously the subject matter of research monographs, are
treated here at this level for the first time.
