TY - GEN AU - Michalzik, Rainer, Ed. TI - VCSELs: fundamentals, technology and applications of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers SN - 9783642249853 U1 - 621.366 PY - 2013/// CY - New York PB - Springer KW - Semiconductor lasers KW - Microwaves KW - Optical materials KW - Physics KW - Nanoscience KW - Nanostructures KW - Quantum optics KW - Optical engineering N1 - Includes bibliographical references and index N2 - The huge progress which has been achieved in the field is covered here, in the first comprehensive monograph on vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) since eight years. Apart from chapters reviewing the research field and the laser fundamentals, there are comprehensive updates on red and blue emitting VCSELs, telecommunication VCSELs, optical transceivers, and parallel-optical links for computer interconnects. Entirely new contributions are made to the fields of vectorial three-dimensional optical modeling, single-mode VCSELs, polarization control, polarization dynamics, very-high-speed design, high-power emission, use of high-contrast gratings, GaInNAsSb long-wavelength VCSELs, optical video links, VCSELs for optical mice and sensing, as well as VCSEL-based laser printing. The book appeals to researchers, optical engineers and graduate students ER -
