Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles and applications of semiconductor diode laser arrays. All of the major types of arrays are discussed in detail, including coherent, incoherent, edge- and surface-emitting, horizontal- and vertical-cavity, individually addressed, lattice-matched and strained-layer systems. The initial chapters cover such topics as lasers, amplifiers, external-cavity control, theoretical modelling, and operational dynamics. Spatially incoherent arrays are then described in detail, and the uses of vertical-cavity surface emitter and edge-emitting arrays in parallel optical-signal processing and multi-channel optical recording are discussed. Engineers, established researchers and graduate students studying the properties and applications of such arrays will find this book invaluable.
Reviews / Votes
'A quite complete review of both the theoretical and practical features of semiconductor diode laser arrays ... should be of high value to engineers and researchers in a variety of specialities.' Steven Gustafson, Optical Engineering 'A well written, useful, and timely review of work on diode-laser arrays ... should be particularly valuable as a review and reference tool for recent work in the areas covered ...' James Walpole, Laser Focus WorldMore details
