Quantum-Well Laser Array Packaging

Quantum-well lasers offer the promise of lightning-fast data communications 10-to-100 times faster than broadband While the architecture for these devices already exists, they suffer from material packaging problems. In this book the authors address this critical issue by providing researchers with state-of-the-art screening and packaging techniques not found in any other resource. Key features Degradation signatures occurring in high power laser bars exposed to high optical power densities Failure prediction for different types of laser bars and technologies Screening methodologies in high power laser bars with a classification of detected defects In-depth degradation analysis of bars and single emittersQuantum-well lasers offer the promise of lightning-fast data communications -- 10-to-100 times faster than broadband.
