The first true introduction to semiconductor opto- electronic devices, this book provides an accessible, well-organized overview of optoelectric devices that emphasizes basic principles. The book discusses the properties of quantum well lasers and distributed feedbacks structures. It features a wealth of valuable appendices as vehicles for more rigorous treatment of selected subjects; it also futures a new chapter (chapter 13) on lightware networks.
