About this title

Synopsis

Process Technology for Semiconductor Lasers describes the design principles of semiconductor lasers, mainly from the fabrication point of view. A review is given of the history of semiconductor-laser development and applications and of the materials used in lasing at short to long wavelengths. The basic design principles for semiconductor-laser devices and the epitaxy for laser production are discussed. An entire chapter is devoted to the technology of liquid-phase epitaxy, and another one to vapor-phase and beam epitaxies. The characterizations of laser materials and the fabrication and characteristics of semiconductor lasers are treated. Mode-control techniques are presented, and surface-emitting lasers are introduced in the final chapter.

From the Back Cover

Process Technology for Semiconductor Lasers describes the design principles of semiconductor lasers, mainly from the fabrication point of view. Starting out with the history of semiconductor-laser development and applications the materials for use in lasing from short to long wavelengths are reviewed. The basic design principles for semiconductor- laser devices and the epitaxy for laser production are discussed. An entire chapter is devoted to the technology of liquid-phase epitaxy, and another one to vapor-phase and beam epitaxies, respectively. The characterizations of laser materials, and the fabrication and characteristics of semiconductor lasers are treated. Mode-control techniques are presented, and surface-emitting lasers are introduced in the final chapter.
