Summary
  • Advances in optical fibre-based communications systems have played a crucial role in the development of the information highway. By offering a single mode oscillation and narrow spectral output, distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser diodes offer an excellent optical light source for fibre-based communication systems. This comprehensive text focuses on the basic working principles of DFB laser diodes and details the development of a new technique for enhanced system performance.
  • Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes is an indispensable text for senior students of electrical and electronic engineering and physics, and will consolidate their knowledge in this rapidly growing field. As a technical guide for the structural design of DFB laser diodes, it will serve as an invaluable reference for researchers in optoelectronics, and semiconductor and device physics.
