Book 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

‘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 Source: 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 Source: Laser Focus World
