Physics of Semiconductor Laser Devices, G. H. B Thompson, J. Wiley & Sons 1980

Description: Physics of Semiconductor Laser Devices by G. H. B. Thompson. Published by John Wiley & Sons,1st edition, 1980, hardcover with dust jacket, condition: Like New. The binding is clean, tight and undamaged. The spine is not creased, the corners are sharp, and the edges show negligible shelf-wear. There is no internal highlighting or marking except for the name of the previous owner neatly stamped on the front endpaper. The photos are not stock images – they are of the actual item with and without dust jacket. The book deals specifically with the physics of the semiconductor laser. The basic phenomena that control the device are analyzed and described in considerable detail. The treatment has been keyed particularly to fundamental concepts and kept general in order to avoid being overtaken by events. The range of phenomena in a semiconductor laser involve a number of scientific disciplines. To cater for the reader who is not already a specialist for all of these the author has endeavored, in the chapters on fundamental behavior, to provide in a readable form the the minimum background that is needed to understand the more specialist part of the book.
