商品描述

The semiconductor laser, invented over 50 years ago, has had an enormous impact on the digital technologies that now dominate so many applications in business, commerce and the home. The laser is used in all types of optical fibre communication networks that enable the operation of the internet, e-mail, voice and skype transmission. Approximately one billion are produced each year for a market valued at around $5 billion. Nearly all semiconductor lasers now use extremely thin layers of light emitting materials (quantum well lasers). Increasingly smaller nanostructures are used in the form of quantum dots. The impact of the semiconductor laser is surprising in the light of the complexity of the physical processes that determine the operation of every device.

This text takes the reader from the fundamental optical gain and carrier recombination processes in quantum wells and quantum dots, through descriptions of common device structures to an understanding of their operating characteristics. It has a consistent treatment of both quantum dot and quantum well structures taking full account of their dimensionality, which provides the reader with a complete account of contemporary quantum confined laser diodes. It includes plenty of illustrations from both model calculations and experimental observations. There are numerous exercises, many designed to give a feel for values of key parameters and experience obtaining quantitative results from equations. Some challenging concepts, previously the subject matter of research monographs, are treated here at this level for the first time.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

半導體雷射是在50年前發明的,對於現今在商業、商業和家庭中佔主導地位的數位技術產生了巨大的影響。雷射被用於各種光纖通信網絡,使得互聯網、電子郵件、語音和Skype傳輸得以運作。每年約生產十億個半導體雷射,市場價值約為50億美元。現在幾乎所有的半導體雷射都使用極薄的發光材料層(量子井雷射)。越來越小的納米結構以量子點的形式使用。考慮到決定每個設備操作的物理過程的複雜性,半導體雷射的影響令人驚訝。



本文從量子井和量子點中的基本光增益和載子復合過程開始,通過對常見設備結構的描述,使讀者了解其操作特性。本書對量子點和量子井結構的處理一致,充分考慮到它們的維度,為讀者提供了對當代量子限制雷射二極管的完整介紹。書中包含了許多模型計算和實驗觀察的插圖。有很多練習題,其中許多旨在讓讀者對關鍵參數的值有所了解,並從方程式中獲得定量結果的經驗。一些具有挑戰性的概念,以前是研究專著的主題,在這本書中首次以這個水平進行了介紹。
