Essential Semiconductor Laser Device Physics (Second Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The semiconductor laser diode is a key technology enabling the continued expansion of advanced global communications, data centers, and large-scale computing infrastructure. In addition to these commercially successful applications, researchers and technologists are actively pursuing a broad range of potentially impactful emerging capabilities, from laser-based automobile collision avoidance to secure quantum key distribution.

This book describes the key aspects of semiconductor laser device physics and principles of laser operation. It is an accessible, convenient reference and essential knowledge that may be easily understood before exploring more sophisticated device concepts. The contents serve as an essential foundation for scientists and engineers about how semiconductor lasers work and the fundamentals determining their behavior without requiring highly specialized and detailed study. The book provides the necessary knowledge to develop novel devices and system configurations exploiting the same fundamental physics of light-matter interaction in semiconductor lasers.

New material in the second edition includes expanded and improved descriptions of basic concepts and practical applications. A chapter on quantum effects in small semiconductor lasers has been included, and appendices provide helpful supplemental material.

Autorenporträt

Tony Levi joined the USC faculty in mid-1993 after working for 10 years at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey. He invented hot-electron spectroscopy, discovered ballistic electron transport in heterostructure bipolar transistors, demonstrated room temperature operation of unipolar transistors with ballistic electron transport, created the first microdisk laser, and carried out work in optimal design of small electronic and photonic systems. His current research interests include device physics at the classical-quantum boundary, system engineering and integration, high-performance electronics, and optimization in system design. To date, he has published numerous scientific papers, several book chapters, is the author of the books Applied Quantum Mechanics (currently in its third edition), Essential Classical Mechanics for Device Physics, Essential Semiconductor Laser Device Physics, Essential Electron Transport for Device Physics, co-editor of the book Optimal Device Design, and holds 17 U.S. patents.
