Advances in optical fibre based communications systems have playeda crucial role in the development of the information highway. Byoffering a single mode oscillation and narrow spectral output,distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser diodes offerexcellent optical light sources as well as optical filters forfibre based communications and dense wavelength divisionmultiplexing (DWDM) systems. This comprehensive text focuses on thebasic working principles of DFB laser diodes and optical filtersand details the development of a new technique for enhanced systemperformance.
* Considers the optical waveguiding characteristics andproperties of semiconductor materials and the physics of DFBsemiconductor lasers.
* Presents a powerful modelling technique based on the transfermatrix method which can be used to improve the design of laserdiodes, optical fibres and amplifiers.
* Examines the effect of the various corrugation shapes on thecoupling coefficients and lasing characteristics of DFB laserdiodes.
* Technical advice to improve immunity against the spatial holeburning effect.
* Extensive referencing throughout and a comprehensive glossaryof symbols and abbreviations.
* Suitable for both introductory and advanced levels
This is an indispensable textbook for undergraduate andpostgraduate students of electrical and electronic engineering andphysics as it consolidates their knowledge in this rapidly growingfield. As a technical guide for the structural design of DFB laserdiodes and optical filters, the book will serve as an invaluablereference for researchers in opto-electronics, and semi conductordevice physics.
