Semiconductor Optical Modulators, Hardcover by Wakita, Koichi, Brand New, Fre.... Semiconductor Optical Modulators, Hardcover by Wakita, Koichi, ISBN 0792380142, ISBN-13 9780792380146, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Provides an account of semiconductor modulators with historical details and experimental reports. Particular attention is paid to multiple quantum well (MQW) modulators operating at long wavelengths, taking into account low losses and dispersion in silica fibers occurring at around and mm. Early chapters introduce basic concepts and provide mathematical derivations for understanding the operation of semiconductor modulators. Other chapters describe device structures and characteristics, compare various modulators, and consider monolithic integration with laser diodes. Later chapters cover evaluation of modulation characteristics, epitaxial growth and device fabrication techniques, and new applications. Useful as a reference for academics and researchers, and as an introduction for graduate students. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
