In order to develop excellent photonic devices, we have to fully understand the physics behind operations of photonic devices. This book thoroughly teaches the fundamental physics currently applied to the development of photonics devices such as energy bands of semiconductors, optical transitions, optical waveguides, and semiconductor junctions. The book also reviews the characteristics of laser diodes, optical filters, and optical functional devices, which have been developed based on the above physics. These photonic devices have been demonstrated in system applications, and several experimental results are described.
The book consists of four parts: Part I, Physics Required to Design Laser Diodes; Part II, Conventional Laser Diodes; Part III, Advanced Laser Diodes and Related Devices; and Part IV, System Demonstrations Using Advanced Laser Diodes and Related Devices. First, the physics behind the operating principles of laser diodes is explained in detail. Second, concepts in the design of laser diodes, optical filters, and optical photonic devices are presented, and their characteristics and experimental results in system applications are reviewed.
