Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting

Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers

Provides comprehensive coverage of the advancement of vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers

Vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs) emit coherent light from the infrared to the visible spectral range with high power output. Recent years have seen new device developments – such as the mode-locked integrated (MIXSEL) and the membrane external-cavity surface emitting laser (MECSEL) – expand the application of VECSELs to include laser cooling, spectroscopy, telecommunications, biophotonics, and laser-based displays and projectors.

In Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers: VECSEL Technology and Applications, leading international research groups provide a comprehensive, fully up-to-date account of all fundamental and technological aspects of vertical external cavity surface emitting lasers. This unique book reviews the physics and technology of optically-pumped disk lasers and discusses the latest developments of VECSEL devices in different wavelength ranges. Topics include OP-VECSEL physics, continuous wave (CW) lasers, frequency doubling, carrier dynamics in SESAMs, and characterization of nonlinear lensing in VECSEL gain samples. This authoritative volume:

Summarizes new concepts of DBR-free and MECSEL lasers for the first time
Covers the mode-locking concept and its application
Provides an overview of the emerging concept of self-mode locking
Describes the development of next-generation OPS laser products

Vertical External Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers: VECSEL Technology and Applications is an invaluable resource for laser specialists, semiconductor physicists, optical industry professionals, spectroscopists, telecommunications engineers and industrial physicists.

Michael Jetter is the group leader of the epitaxy group in the Institute for Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He obtained his diploma and PhD degrees in physics from the University of Stuttgart. From 2003 to 2005 he worked at AIXTRON Semiconductors in Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany, before returning to the University of Stuttgart in 2005.

Peter Michler is the head of the Institute for Semiconductor Optics and Functional Interfaces at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. His research is concentrated on quantum dots, quantum optics, non-classical light sources and semiconductor lasers. After his diploma and PhD degrees in physics he worked as a post-doc at the Max-Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart. From 1995 to 1999, Peter Michler was research group leader at the University of Bremen, Germany, followed by a one-year research stay at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. After his habilitation at the University of Bremen in 2003 he became professor at the University of Stuttgart.
