„The many figures and references make this an excellent review of the field. I recommend this book not only to researchers in the field of optoelectronics, but also in laser science.“ - Optics and Photonics News
Although semiconductor-diode lasers are the most compact, highest gain and most efficient laser sources, difficulties remain in developing structures that will produce high-quality, diffraction-limited output beams. Indeed, only a few designs have emerged with the potential for producing high-power, high-brightness monolithic sources. This book presents and analyzes the results of work performed over the past two decades in the development of such diode-laser arrays.
