Analysis and Design of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers

Beschreibung

A practical, hands-on guidebook for the efficient modeling ofVCSELs Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are a unique typeof semiconductor laser whose optical output is vertically emittedfrom the surface as opposed to conventional edge-emittingsemiconductor lasers. Complex in design and expensive to produce,VCSELs nevertheless represent an already widely used lasertechnology that promises to have even more significant applicationsin the future. Although the research has accelerated, there havebeen relatively few books written on this important topic. Analysis and Design of Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasersseeks to encapsulate this growing body of knowledge into a single,comprehensive reference that will be of equal value for bothprofessionals and academics in the field. The author, a recognizedexpert in the field of VCSELs, attempts to clarify oftenconflicting assumptions in order to help readers achieve thesimplest and most efficient VCSEL models for any givenproblem. Highlights of the text include: * A clear and comprehensive theoretical treatment of VCSELs * Detailed derivations for understanding the operational principlesof VCSELs * Mathematical models for the investigation of electrical, optical,and thermal properties of VCSELs * Case studies on the mathematical modeling of VCSELs and theimplementation of simulation programs

"...very nicely organized...design engineers of VCSELs willfind this book the most useful. However, it also provides valuableinformation to CAD tool designers..." (Optics &Photonics News, June 2005) "...the author's assessment of the opportunitiesgives a strong incentive to develop such interest"(Robotica, Vol. 22, 2004)
