A concise, well-organized introduction to the rapidly growing field of optical electronics. Emphasizing semiconductor emitters and detectors, it provides full and current coverage of optical communications systems. Discusses gas and solid state lasers, with background material in electromagnetic theory and modern physics. Specific topics covered include light transmission in optical fibers (treating the benefits and drawbacks of using semiconductor lasers of LEDS); materials and devices (with discussion of ternary and quaternary systems and heterostructure LEDS and lasers); single mode, single frequency, quantum well lasers, and integrated optics and optical bistability; and semiconductor, gas, and solid state lasers. Closing chapters discuss emerging developments in the field.
