Optoelectronic Devices (ePub)

-->This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the design and applications of optoelectronic devices. Optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diodes (LEDs), semiconductor lasers, photodetectors, optical fibers, and solar cells, are important components for solid state lighting systems, optical communication systems, and power generation systems. Optical fiber amplifiers and fiber lasers are also important for high power industrial applications and sensors. The applications of optoelectronic devices were first studied in the 1970's. Since then, the diversity and scope of optoelectronic device research and applications have been steadily growing.Optoelectronic Devices is self-contained and unified in presentation. It can be used as an advanced textbook by graduate students and practicing engineers. It is also suitable for non-experts who wish to have an overview of optoelectronic devices and systems. The treatments in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader and complete enough to provide the necessary background to explore the subject further. -->Sample Chapter(s)PrefaceIntroduction -->Contents: IntroductionLight Emitting Diode (LED) and MaterialsSemiconductor Laser — ISemiconductor Laser — IIModulatorsPhotodetectorsSemiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA)Photonic Integrated CircuitsOptical Fiber and Fiber-Based DevicesPlanar Waveguide Amplifiers and LasersOptical Transmission System ApplicationAppendices:Waveguide Modes in Planar WaveguideWaveguide Modes in Optical FibersOptical Pulse Propagation EquationThree-Level and Four-Level Laser EquationsSpontaneous Emission and Absorption for Parabolic BandsQuantum Cascade Laser — Gain CalculationSupercontinuum Generation in Optical FibersSupercontinuum Generation in Planar WaveguidesTheory of Harmonic and Rational Harmonic Mode LockingReflectivity of a Periodic StructureSemiconductor Laser Rate EquationsNonlinear Effects in FibersNonlinear Effects in Semiconductor Optical AmplifiersEnergy Levels in a Quantum WellProblems --> -->Readership: Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in Physics and Electrical Engineering, practicing engineers, non-experts interested in optoelectronic device and system technologies. -->Semiconductor LEDs;Solid State Lighting;Semiconductor Laser;Tunable Laser;Quantum Cascade Laser;Nanostructure Lasers;Photodetectors;Avalanche Photodiodes;Solar Cells;LiNbO3 Modulator;Electroabsorption Modulator;Electroabsorption Modulated Laser;Arrayed Waveguide Grating;Photonic Integrated Circuits;Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits;Fiber Amplifier;Optical Amplifier;Rare Earth Doped Devices;Transitions in Rare Earths;Nonlinear Optics in Fibers;Fiber Optic Communication;Raman Scattering in Fibers;Fiber Lasers;Raman Lasers;Fiber Bragg Gratings;Mode Locked Pulse Generation;High Power Fiber Lasers;Er Doped Amplifiers;Yb Doped Amplifiers0Key Features:This book is self-contained and unified in presentation.
