Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes and Optical Tunable Filters

Distributed Feedback Laser Diodes and Optical Tunable Filters, 9780470856185 (0470856181), John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Advances in optical fibre based communications systems have played a crucial role in the development of the information highway. By offering a single mode oscillation and narrow spectral output, distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser diodes offer excellent optical light sources as well as optical filters for fibre based communications and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. This comprehensive text focuses on the basic working principles of DFB laser diodes and optical filters and details the development of a new technique for enhanced system performance.

Considers the optical waveguiding characteristics and properties of semiconductor materials and the physics of DFB semiconductor lasers.
Presents a powerful modelling technique based on the transfer matrix method which can be used to improve the design of laser diodes, optical fibres and amplifiers.
Examines the effect of the various corrugation shapes on the coupling coefficients and lasing characteristics of DFB laser diodes.
Technical advice to improve immunity against the spatial hole burning effect.
Extensive referencing throughout and a comprehensive glossary of symbols and abbreviations.
Suitable for both introductory and advanced levels

This is an indispensable textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students of electrical and electronic engineering and physics as it consolidates their knowledge in this rapidly growing field. As a technical guide for the structural design of DFB laser diodes and optical filters, the book will serve as an invaluable reference for researchers in opto-electronics, and semi conductor device physics.

Text deals with the advances in optical fiber based on communication systems that have played a crucial role in the development of the information highway. Serves as a technical guide and reference for researchers and practitioners. DLC: Light emitting diodes.

Multimodal User Interfaces: From Signals to Interaction (Signals and Communication Technology)

Springer, 2008

Human interfacing with the environment and with other humans is undoubtedly, fully multimodal. All human senses participate, even if some of then dominate, to the everyday human operations of perception, action and interaction. Interaction with the computer or computer-mediated interaction with others has been based for decades in a limited set of...

The Practical Use of Fracture Mechanics

Springer, 1988

This book is about the use of fracture mechanics for the solution of practical problems; academic rigor is not at issue and dealt with only in as far as it improves insight and understanding; it often concerns secondary errors in engineering. Knowledge of (ignorance of) such basic input as loads and stresses in practical cases may cause errors far...

NetBeans Ruby and Rails IDE with JRuby

Apress, 2009

As Ruby and Rails continues to grow, and more and more jobs are coming online that require you to effectively develop Ruby and Rails in the web tier. Beyond the Rails framework, there are still very few proven tools and IDEs to get the job done, at least until now. The NetBeans Ruby and Rails IDE, according to some, is by far the best and...
