This book covers the device physics of semiconductor lasers in five chapters written by recognized experts in this field. The volume begins by introducing the basic mechanisms of optical gain in semiconductors and the role of quantum confinement in modern quantum well diode lasers. Subsequent chapters treat the effects of built-in strain, one of the important recent advances in the technology of these lasers, and the physical mechanisms underlying the dynamics and high speed modulation of these devices. The book concludes with chapters addressing the control of photon states in squeezed-light and microcavity structures, and electron states in low dimensional quantum wire and quantum dot lasers.
The book offers useful information for both readers unfamiliar with semiconductor lasers, through the introductory parts of each chapter, as well as a state-of-the-art discussion of some of the most advanced semiconductor laser structures, intended for readers engaged in research in this field. This book may also serve as an introduction for the companion volume, Semiconductor Lasers II: Materials and Structures, which presents further details on the different material systems and laser structures used for achieving specific diode laser performance features.

* Introduces the reader to the basics of semiconductor lasers
* Covers the fundamentals of lasing in semiconductors, including quantum confined and microcavity structures
* Beneficial to readers interested in the more general aspects of semiconductor physics and optoelectronic devices, such as quantum confined heterostructures and integrated optics
* Each chapter contains a thorough introduction to the topic geared toward the non-expert, followed by an in-depth discussion of current technology and future trends
* Useful for professionals engaged in research and development
* Contains numerous schematic and data-containing illustrations

A Comprehensive overview of the theory and applications of laser welding

This complete and up-to-date overview examines both the state of the art and likely future directions of laser welding technology. Paying particular attention to manufacturing, where applications of laser welding range from vehicle assembly to the joining of microelectric components, this comprehensive volume reviews the fundamentals, examines the latest research data, and offers detailed coverage of practical applications. The emphasis is on optimizing laser welding techniques to achieve defect-free results at high speed and under reproducible conditions. Author Walter W. Duley also discusses design issues, material properties, and the efficient delivery of laser radiation in welding applications, as well as the practical aspects of joint design. Other important features of this book include:
* Comprehensive data on real-world laser welding applications, including the new application of tailor blanking
* Performance criteria for numerous laser welding systems
* A review of available welding data for various metals and other materials
* A section on laser welding diagnostics and monitoring techniques
* Over 160 illustrations
* Extensive references and a bibliography for specific industrial applications.

Laser Welding is an indispensable resource for engineers and scientists using laser welding technology and a useful text for students in physics, material science, and mechanical engineering. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and designers developing new laser welding systems and studying the laser welding process. Walter W. Duley is a professor at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, and is the founder and former chairman of Powerlasers Limited. His previous books include UV Lasers: Effects and Applications in Materials Science, Laser Processing and Analysis of Materials, and CO2 Lasers: Effects and Applications.
