Reliability of Semiconductor Lasers and Optoelectronic DevicesAuthor(s): Robert Herrick, Osamu Ueda\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Woodhead Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780128192542, 978-0128192542\nSynopsis\nReliability of Semiconductor Lasers and Optoelectronic Devices simplifies complex concepts of optoelectronics reliability with approachable introductory chapters and a focus on real-world applications. This book provides a brief look at the fundamentals of laser diodes, introduces reliability qualification, and then presents real-world case studies discussing the principles of reliability and what occurs when these rules are broken. Then this book comprehensively looks at optoelectronics devices and the defects that cause premature failure in them and how to control those defects. Key materials and devices are reviewed including silicon photonics, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), InGaN LEDs and lasers, and AlG.
