This textbook gives a broad overview of the underlying physics and operational principles of semiconductor lasers from the viewpoint of internationally well-known scientists from the University of Arizona. Starting with a discussion of semiconductor laser diodes, including basic laser devices, heterostructures, gain and index guiding, the relevant concepts of semiconductor physics are summarized.
Semiconductor lasers have conquered a large range of applications Provides the basic physics of semiconductor lasers * Very modern treatment
