Product Description
Diode Lasers-An Innovative And Comprehensive Approach. Diode lasers are found in numerous applications in the optoelectronics industry, ranging from readout sources in compact disc players to transmitters for optical fiber communication systems. Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits provides a comprehensive treatment of this technology, its principles and theory, treating students as well as experienced engineers to an in-depth exploration of this fast-growing field. Covering material for a two-semester course of graduate- or advanced senior-level study, this innovative book presents the engineering aspects first-introduces all elementary concepts, provides the necessary detail to accurately solve real problems-and then presents complex physical aspects only after a complete understanding of the operation of diode lasers has been achieved. Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits includes: * Over 270 illustrations * Extensive appendices that provide both review and advanced material, as well as details of derivations * Consistent notation throughout all chapters and appendices that allows for a self-contained treatment and varied levels of study * A series of design examples of relatively complex photonic integrated circuits * Example problems and a toolbox of techniques to apply to new advanced details as they arise * Accurate and consistent calculations that illustrate analysis techniques, while agreeing with experimental data * Complete coverage of matrix multiplication techniques which are more exact, general, and easier to comprehend for modern-day students |

A Useful Book of High Quality by Dr. Ruediger Paschotta (Zürich, Switzerland)  5 Stars
August 22, 2008
Coldren and Corzine have done a very good job, explaining very clearly many issues concerning the physics of laser diodes and photonic integrated circuits. It is also helpful that various appendices go more into detail on certain subjects, allowing the main text to be more easily readable.
I was only a bit disappointed not to find more details on high-power laser diodes and on various semiconductor materials; the book focuses on InGaAs/GaAs-based low-power lasers. However, the covered topics are treated really well, and that is most important. The book is certainly very useful for my work, and can be recommended particularly to those who want to learn about the general physics of diode lasers, rather than on specific types of devices for various spectral regions.

good but may be difficult for beginners by book reviewer (USA)  4 Stars
November 05, 2005
For some derivations, I will suggest "Principles and applications of optical communications" by Max Ming-Kang Liu. It is more complete and easier to read for beginners.

Henry M. Daghighian Senior technical project leader by Henry Daghighian (Los Angeles, Ca United States) 5 Stars
February 08, 2005
I found this book quite useful for training Electrical engineers in the high speed fiber optics industry. The discussion of device physics and device characteristics,their impact on device performance such as e.g.; turn-On delay ,relaxation oscillation frequency,etc. was really handy.I strongly recommend this book to all managers and senior design engineers who need to train new electrical engineers in the field of device physics.I look forward to 2nd and third edition of this book as the years go by.Good investment.

bible for photonics engineers by Ashish Tandon (Palo Alto, CA United States) 5 Stars
November 01, 2000
This book is a masterpiece. The book is a great tutor whether you are a novice or an expert in the field. Great attention has been paid to detail (which is illustrated in the fact that you will find almost no typos in the book). Many different topics such as gain calculation, reflectors, waveguides, etc. have been comprehensively treated at both a qualitative and quantitative level. This leaves the reader with not just the methodology for computing parameters for lasers using equations, but also an intuitive understanding of the physical phenomena involved in making the calculations (via the qualitative analysis). The authors provide a unique perspective to many a phenomena that have been routinely treated by other texts. This is definitely one book for the archives!!!
