Synopsis

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) have been the subject of growing interest within the scientific community since 1990. This class of semiconductor laser is suited to the production of large 2D arrays and will be increasingly important in the future for communications systems, computer and display applications. Starting from basic principles, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the operation and design of VCSELs. It includes original experimental work, backed up by calculations and detailed theoretical analysis. Little prior knowledge of laser devices is assumed, and the reader is directed to other sources of information where necessary. Work already done in the field is reviewed, and future directions for research are suggested. This volume will be of relevance both to university students of optoelectronics and laser physics, and to researchers in academia and industry involved in work in VCSELs.
