Informationen zum Autor Larry A. Coldren is the Fred Kavli Professor of Optoelectronics and Sensors at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He has authored or coauthored over a thousand journal and conference papers, seven book chapters, and a textbook, and has been issued sixty-three patents. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, OSA, and IEE, the recipient of the 2004 John Tyndall and 2009 Aron Kressel Awards, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Scott W. Corzine obtained his PhD from the University of California, Santa Barbara, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, for his work on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). He worked for ten years at HP/Agilent Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, on VCSELs, externally modulated lasers, and quantum cascade lasers. He is currently with Infinera in Sunnyvale, California, working on photonic integrated circuits. Milan L. Mashanovitch obtained his PhD in the field of photonic integrated circuits at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), in 2004. He has since been with UCSB as a scientist working on tunable photonic integrated circuits and as an adjunct professor, and with Freedom Photonics LLC, Santa Barbara, which he cofounded in 2005, working on photonic integrated circuits. Klappentext Current and comprehensive coverage of fundamentals and advanced topics for students and professionalsOwing to their small size and mass-producibility, high efficiency, and amazing useful life of hundreds of years, diode lasers remain essential in data transmission and data storage applications and consumer products, while appearing in new applications, like medical imaging and remote sensing. This new edition of Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits is an in-depth and fully up-to-date resource for students in electrical engineering and applied physics as well as professional engineers and researchers in optoelectronics and related fields.Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits, Second Edition features:* Expanded treatment of GaN-based materials, DFBs and VCSELs, quantum dots, mode and injection locking, tunable lasers and new photonic IC technology* Many worked examples throughout that illustrate how to apply the principles and theory discussed* Online access to important tools such as BPM and S and T matrix computation code, DFB laser code, mode solving code, and more* Study problems and solutions at the end of each chapter* Consistent notation throughout all chapters and appendices that allow for self-contained treatment and varied levels of studyComplete with extensive appendices that provide review and advanced material as well as details of derivations, Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits, Second Edition is an excellent resource for anyone studying or working in the field. Zusammenfassung Optical communication technology, like diode lasers used in optical storage devices, is vital to the optoelectronics industry. Since the first edition, Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits presents up-to-date information on optical communication technology principles and theories.
