Opis

This text provides detailed coverage of the physical processes underpinning semiconductor devices, and their applications in photonics.

Recenzje

'This is a comprehensive book dealing with the physical properties and lasing characteristics of most widely used semiconductor lasers. The author's approach is often theoretical, however, detailed discussion of the practical and applied aspects of semiconductor lasers and plenty of numerical exercises provide for a well-balanced description. It should be highly recommended for advanced courses on the topic or as a reference for researchers.' Orazio Svelto, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Politecnico di Milano
