Advances in Semiconductor Lasers
DOI: 10.1063/1.880972
In the past decade the semiconductor laser—also known as the diode or junction laser—has become a key device in optical electronics because of its pure output spectrum and high quantum efficiency. Not coincidentally, its output can be modulated at very high speeds; this property and its compact size make it useful in a vast range of applications, from fiber‐optic communications to optical radar.
