Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Semiconductor-Laser Physics discusses the underlying physics and operational principles of semiconductor lasers. The optical and electronic properties of the semiconductor medium are analyzed in detail, including quantum confinement and gain engineering effects. A semiclassical and a quantum version of the laser theory are presented, including an analysis of single- and multimode operation, instabilities, laser arrays, unstable resonators, and microcavity lasers.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Semiconductor laser diodes -- Basic concepts -- Free-carrier theory -- Coulomb effects -- Many-body gain -- Band mixing and strain in quantum wells -- Semiclassical laser theory -- Multimode operation -- Quantum theory of the laser -- Propagation effects -- Beyond quasiequilibrium theory.
