Process Technology for Semiconductor Lasers - Crystal Growth and Microprocesses

This book 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.
