Info autore

Jérôme Faist was born in Switzerland and obtained his Ph.D. in Physics in 1989 from the Swiss Institute of Technology in Lausanne. He then worked successively at IBM Rueschlikon (1989-91) and Bell Laboratories (1991-97). He was nominated full professor in the physics institute of the University of Neuchâtel (1997) and then in the ETH Zurich (2007). His key contribution to the development of the quantum cascade laser was recognized by a number of awards that include the National Swiss Latsis Prize 2002.

Riassunto

This book describes the physics, fabrication technology, and applications of the quantum cascade laser.

Testo aggiuntivo

Comprehensively discusses for the first time the invention of QCLs...[and] promises to become an essential complement to other popular treatments of semiconductor laser physics.
