Description
Book SynopsisVertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are a type of semiconductor laser whose optical output is vertically emitted from the surface as opposed to conventional edge emitting semiconductor lasers. This book acts as a practical guide for the modeling of VCSELs. It provides derivations for understanding the operational principles of VCSELs.
Trade Review"…very nicely organized…design engineers of VCSELs will find this book the most useful. However, it also provides valuable information to CAD tool designers…" (
Optics & Photonics News, June 2005)
“…the author’s assessment of the opportunities gives a strong incentive to develop such interest” (Robotica, Vol. 22, 2004)
