Self-contained and pedagogical, this book is ideal for graduate students in physics and electrical engineering, and later chapters offer descriptions of widely used photonic devices such as distributed feedback lasers and quantum dot lasers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Prof. Nisoli's book is an excellent introduction for masters or graduate level students wishing to learn more about the physics underlying semiconductor lasers and light emitting diodes. In the first half of the book there is a thorough, modern discussion of semiconductor physics, optical properties and band theory, with an interesting section on quantum wells. The final three chapters are a detailed and comprehensive discourse on LEDs, semiconductor lasers and low-dimensional lasers. I shall certainly be recommending my students to read this book as part of their studies.' Robert A. Taylor, University of Oxford\u003cbr\u003e'This is a comprehensive book dealing with the physical properties and lasing characteristics of most widely used semiconductor lasers. The author's approach is often theoretical, however, detailed discussion of the practical and applied aspects of semiconductor lasers and plenty of numerical exercises provide for a well-balanced description. It should be highly recommended for advanced courses on the topic or as a reference for researchers.'
