Product Description
Quantum technology is the key to next-generation optoelectronics and laser semiconductors, and this new cutting-edge book is an in-depth examination of how quantum dots and wires are fabricated and applied to optics. You find a solid tutorial on the optical properties of nanoscale dots and wires that explains the current state of this technology and why it is so promising. The book presents a detailed survey of techniques based on molecular beam epitaxial growth for fabricating semiconductor quantum dots and wires. You learn how to assess these growth strategies for insertion of dots and wires into devices. Special focus is given to bottom-up growth methods that have the most potential for fabricating atomically precise structures. Each type of these structures is characterized optically, so their properties can be modeled for application at the system level. This unique resource concludes with a discussion of how quantum dots and wires can be applied to next-generation semiconductor lasers and optical sources, as well as to single photon sources and quantum coherent optoelectronics. |

The State of the Art as it Exists Today by John Matlock (Winnemucca, NV)  5 Stars
December 13, 2004
In the late 1970's the physics and engineering came together to enable the construction of a new generation of optoelectronic devices with enhanced performance such as the quantuum well lasers. The physical theory said that this could be done and the mechanical assembly of semiconductors using the epitaxial growth of planar structures which enabled monolayer thickness made the devices practical. Enhancement of the techniques since has driven down the price of components dramatically downward (the low price of CD-ROM readers and players is the result). While the thickness of the layers has been easy to control, the other two dimensions has proven much more difficult.
In the past few years, new techniques have come into being that offer great promise in the fabrication of devices that are not planer (two dimensional) but linear (one dimensional - a wire) or even a single dot (of almost no dimension).
This book, edited by Dr. Glenn Solomon of Stanford and Dr. Garnett Bryant of NIST researchers from around the world have contributed chapters that cover the state of the art in how quantum dots and wires are fabricated and applied to optics. This is as cutting-edge a book on the subject as is possible to put together today.
