VCSELs: Fundamentals, Technology and Applications of Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

The huge progress which has been achieved in the field is covered here, in the first comprehensive monograph on vertical—cavity surface—emitting lasers (VCSELs) since eight years. Apart from chapters reviewing the research field and the laser fundamentals, there are comprehensive updates on red and blue emitting VCSELs, telecommunication VCSELs, optical transceivers, and parallel—optical links for computer interconnects. Entirely new contributions are made to the fields of vectorial three—d...
