Fundamentals of Laser Diode Amplifiers

Beschreibung

Optical communications technology is growing increasingly inimportance, with a rapid pace of development. Innovative opticaldevices have emerged from the integration of semiconductor laserdiodes with optical waveguide technology. This well-researched texttraces the evolution of semiconductor laser amplifiers (SLAs) fromthese technologies. Focusing on the principle applications of SLAs,the author illustrates the growing importance of these functionalcomponents in the future of optical communications systems.Featuring: * The major advantages of the basic static design of laser diodeamplifiers * Systematic analysis of signal and noise properties, includinggain, bandwidth and saturation power * The implications of SLAs on optical fibre systemperformance * A new technique for analysing SLAs using an equivalent circuitmodel * Extensive end-of-chapter references Fundamentals of Laser Diode Amplifiers will provide engineeringstudents with a basic understanding of optical amplificationthrough the analysis of the performance characteristics of SLAs intheory and in application. Practising devic e engineers wishing toconsolidate their knowledge in lightwave technology will also findthis work an invaluable reference.
