Summary

This book brings together in a single volume a unique contribution by the top experts around the world in the field of compact semiconductor lasers to provide a comprehensive description and analysis of the current status as well as future directions in the field of micro- and nano-scale semiconductor lasers.
It is organized according to the various forms of micro- or nano-laser cavity configurations with each chapter discussing key technical issues, including semiconductor carrier recombination processes and optical gain dynamics, photonic confinement behavior and output coupling mechanisms, carrier transport considerations relevant to the injection process, and emission mode control.
Required reading for those working in and researching the area of semiconductors lasers and micro-electronics.

Author Biography

Richard De La Rue has been Professor of Optoelectronics at Glasgow University since 1986.

Jean-Michel Lourtioz is Director of Research at the "Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique" (CNRS, France).

Siyuan Yu is Professor of Photonic Information Systems at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Bristol, England, UK.

The research of Richard De La Rue has been concerned with photonic crystal and photonic wire structures, with waveguide micro-cavities and with meta-materials. This research is targeted at applications in both communications and sensing. His research in the area of photonic crystals has evolved to cover compact lasers, planar micro-cavities, photonic-crystal LEDs, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), synthetic opal and inverse opal structures.

Since 1976, the research work of Jean- Michel Lourtioz with the "Institut d'Electronique Fondamentale" at Paris-Sud University has covered a broad variety of topics including: molecular lasers, semiconductor lasers, fast optoelectronics, quantum well intersubband devices, semiconductor nanostructures, photonic crystals and metamaterials. He has recently reoriented a part of his activities to the development of research projects in nanobiotechnology.

Siyuan Yuis is also a Special Expert Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Materials and Technologies, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China.  His research has been mainly concerned with III-V semiconductor based integrated photonic components and their applications in optical communications systems, covering semiconductor optical amplifiers, semiconductor lasers, integrated optical switch matrices, all-optical wavelength convertors and all-optical signal processing devices.
