Synopses & Reviews
As laser diodes continue to increase in use and versatility so their design has become more sophisticated, requiring extensive physical and mathematical modelling. Concentrating on presenting a thorough analysis of DFB lasers from a level suitable for research students, the book emphasises understanding of fundamental principles and gives extensive coverage of computer aided modelling techniques. It is supported by a suite of MATLAB programs.
Synopsis
Distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers emit light in a single mode which is essential to providing the carrier in long haul high bit-rate optical communication systems. This comprehensive research monograph provides:
- thorough analysis of the operation and design of DFB lasers
- a high level of tutorial discussion with many valuable appendices
- the first full account of time-domain numerical modelling techniques applicable to future optical systems as well as present devices
- Web access to a suite of MATLAB programs (student version MATLAB 4 or higher).
It is essential reading for those studying optical communications at graduate and advanced under-graduate level, and a key book for industrial designers of opto-electronic devices.
