Only long-wavelength VCSELs, having one-tenth the consumption of edge-emitting lasers, can meet this challenge. Another field of applications requiring low-cost, wavelength-prescribed and tunable ...
“Compared to photonic-crystal surface-emitting lasers, even the best conventional semiconductor lasers today seem like bulky edge-emitting devices with poor beam quality, large beam spread and ...
Primary coverage includes VCSEL, Edge-Emitting Laser, and Quantum Cascade Laser technologies, with detailed analysis of their applications in optical communications, automotive, consumer ...
A semiconductor-based laser used to generate analog signals or digital pulses for transmission through optical fibers. Both laser diodes and LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are used for this purpose ...
