This book is devoted to optical semiconductor devices and their
numerous applications in telecommunications, optoelectronics, and
consumer electronics-areas where signal processing or the
transmission of signals across fiber optic cables is paramount. It
introduces a new generation of devices that includes optical
modulators, quantum well (QW) lasers, and photodiodes and explores
new applications of more established devices such as semiconductor
lasers, light-emitting diodes, and photodiodes. Mitsuo Fukuda
examines the material properties, operation principles,
fabrication, packaging, reliability, and applications of each
device and offers a unique industrial perspective, discussing
everything engineers and scientists need to know at different
phases of research, development, and production. This guide to the
state-of-the-art of optical semiconductor devices:
* Helps you choose the right device for a given application.
* Covers important performance data such as temperature and optical feedback noise in lasers.
* Highlights epitaxial growth techniques and fabrication for each device.
* Features one hundred figures and an extensive bibliography.
* Provides a clear and concise treatment, unencumbered by excessive theory Optical Semiconductor Devices is an essential resource for engineers and researchers in telecommunications and optoelectronics, equipment designers and manufacturers, and graduate students and scholars interested in this rapidly evolving field.
