Mid-infrared Semiconductor Optoelectronics - Softcover
Book 67 of 235: Springer Series in Optical Sciences
Synopsis
Optoelectronic devices operating in the mid-infrared wavelength range offer applications in a variety of areas from environmental gas monitoring around oil rigs to the detection of narcotics. They could also be used for free-space optical communications, thermal imaging applications and the development of "homeland security" measures. "Mid-infrared Semiconductor Optoelectronics" is an overview of the current status and technological development in this rapidly emerging area. The basic physics, some of the problems facing the design engineer and a comparison of possible solutions are laid out. The different lasers used as sources for mid-infrared technology are considered. Recent work in detectors is reviewed, and the last part of the book is concerned with applications. With a world-wide authorship of experts working in many mid-infrared-related fields, this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students drawn from physics, electronic and electrical engineering and materials science.
