Fundamentals of Semiconductor Lasers explains the physics and
fundamental characteristics of semiconductor lasers with regard to
systems applications. The detailed and comprehensive presentation
is unique in that it encourages the reader to consider different
semiconductor lasers from different angles. Emphasis is placed on
recognizing common concepts such operating principles and
structure, and solving problems based on individual situations. The
treatment is enhanced by an historical account of advances in
semiconductor lasers over the years, discussing both those ideas
that have persisted over the years and those that have faded
out.
The first four chapters cover the basics of semiconductors,
including band structures, optical transitions, optical waveguides,
and optical resonators. The remaining chapters discuss operating
principles and basic characteristics of semiconductor lasers, and
advanced topics including dynamic single-mode lasers, quantum well
lasers, and control of spontaneous emission. The reader need only
be familiar with undergraduate-level electromagnetism and quantum
mechanics. After reading this book, the student will be able to
think critically about semiconductor lasers, and be able to read
and understand journal papers in the field. This book will be
essential to any advanced undergraduate or graduate student of
semiconductor lasers, and any professional physicist or engineer
looking for a good overview of the subject.
