Optoelectronic devices operating in the mid-infrared wavelength range offer applications in a variety of areas from environmental gas monitoring around oil rigs to the detection of narcotics. They could also be used for free-space optical communications, thermal imaging applications and the development of "homeland security" measures.
Mid-infrared Semiconductor Optoelectronics is an overview of the current status and technological development in this rapidly emerging area the basic physics, some of the problems facing the design engineer and a comparison of possible solutions are laid out the different lasers used as sources for mid-infrared technology are considered recent work in detectors is reviewed the last part of the book is concerned with applications.
With a world-wide authorship of experts working in many mid-infrared-related fields this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and graduate students drawn from physics, electronic and electrical engineering and materials science.
