Heterojunction Laser Diodes for Room Temperature Operation
Abstract
A general review is presented of heterojunction laser diodes suitable for efficient room temperature operation. A variety of structures are described which allow either pulsed or CW operation under operating conditions useful in optical communication systems, particularly those using glass fibers.
