Current and comprehensive coverage of fundamentals and advanced topics for students and professionals

Owing to their small size and mass-producibility, high efficiency, and amazing useful life of hundreds of years, diode lasers remain essential in data transmission and data storage applications and consumer products, while appearing in new applications, like medical imaging and remote sensing. This new edition of Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits is an in-depth and fully up-to-date resource for students in electrical engineering and applied physics as well as professional engineers and researchers in optoelectronics and related fields.

Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits, Second Edition features:

• Expanded treatment of GaN-based materials, DFBs and VCSELs, quantum dots, mode and injection locking, tunable lasers and new photonic IC technology

• Many worked examples throughout that illustrate how to apply the principles and theory discussed

• Online access to important tools such as BPM and S and T matrix computation code, DFB laser code, mode solving code, and more

• Study problems and solutions at the end of each chapter

• Consistent notation throughout all chapters and appendices that allow for self-contained treatment and varied levels of study

Complete with extensive appendices that provide review and advanced material as well as details of derivations, Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits, Second Edition is an excellent resource for anyone studying or working in the field.
