9783527410934: Compact Semiconductor Lasers

Synopsis

Diese Buch beinhaltet in einem Band die Arbeit der weltweit renommiertesten Experten zum Thema der kompakten Halbleiterlaser, das eine sehr dynamische Entwicklung zeigt. Die aktuelle Forschung in diesem Bereich schafft die Grundlagen für eine Technologie, die groÃ?technische Anwendung finden könnte - und hat das Potenzial einen groÃ?en Einfluss auf dem Gebiet der optoelektronischen Integration zu haben. Dieses Buch liefert eine umfassende Beschreibung und Analyse der Stand der Dinge, sowie eine Ã?berblick über die Möglichkeiten der Mikro- und Nano- Halbleiterlaser ? um diese so klein wie möglich aber einfach elektrisch gepumpt zu realisieren. Das Buch ist nach den verschiedenen Typen der Mikro-oder Nano- Laser-Resonator-Konfigurationen geordnet. Die Resonator-Konfigurationen unterscheiden sich durch verschiedene optische Techniken (z. B. photonische Kristallstrukturen, plasmonische Verstärkung), um die kleinstmöglichen Laser zu realisieren. Alle wichtigen technischen Herausforderungen um kompakte Laser herzustellen werden behandelt. In jedem Kapitel werden die wichtigsten technischen Fragen zu den besonderen Resonator-Typen diskutiert, einschlieÃ?lich der Ladungsträgerrekombination-Prozesse und der Dynamik der optischen Verstärkung, die photonischen Guiding- und Auskopplungs-Mechanismen, sowie Ladungsträgertransport-Betrachtungen im Zusammenhang mit den Injektions-Prozessen und die Kontrolle der Emission-Moden.

Jean-Michel Lourtioz is Director of Research at the "Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique" (CNRS, France). Since 1976, his research work with the "Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale" (IEF) at Paris-Sud University has covered a variety of topics including semiconductor lasers, fast optoelectronics, semiconductor nanostructures, photonic crystals and metamaterials

From the Back Cover

This book brings together in a single volume a unique contribution by top experts from around the
world in the field of compact semiconductor lasers in order to provide a comprehensive description
and analysis of the current status as well as future directions in the field of micro- and nano-scale
semiconductor lasers.

It is organized according to the various forms of micro- or nano-laser cavity configuration with each
chapter discussing key technical issues, including semiconductor carrier recombination processes and
optical gain dynamics, photonic confinement behavior and output coupling mechanisms, carrier transport
considerations relevant to the injection process- and emission mode control.

From the contents:

• Nano-scale metallo-dielectric coherent light sources

• Optically pumped semiconductor photonic crystal lasers

• Electrically pumped photonic crystal lasers: laser diodes and quantum cascade lasers

• Photonic crystal VCSELs

• III- V compact lasers integrated onto silicon (SOI)

• Semiconductor micro-ring lasers
