{"product_id":"9789814489058","title":"Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (Second Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis invaluable book provides a comprehensive treatment of design and applications of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA). SOA is an important component for optical communication systems. It has applications as in-line amplifiers and as functional devices in evolving optical networks. The functional applications of SOAs were first studied in the early 1990's, since then the diversity and scope of such applications have been steadily growing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is the second edition of a book on \u003ci\u003eSemiconductor Optical Amplifiers\u003c\/i\u003e first published in 2006 by the same authors. Several chapters and sections representing new developments in the chapters of the first edition have been added. The new chapters cover quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD-SOA), reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOA) for passive optical network applications, two-photon absorption in amplifiers, and, applications of SOA as broadband sources. They represent advances in research, technology and commercial trends in the area of semiconductor optical amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSemiconductor Optical Amplifier\u003c\/i\u003e is self-contained and unified in presentation. It can be used as an advanced text by graduate students and by practicing engineers. It is also suitable for non-experts who wish to have an overview of optical amplifiers. The treatments in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader and complete enough to provide the necessary background to explore the subject further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic Concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecombination Mechanisms and Gain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEpitaxial Growth and Amplifier Designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow Reflectivity Facet Designs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplifier Rate Equations and Operating Characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotonic Integrated Circuit Using Amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunctional Properties and Applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Logic Operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical Logic Circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantum Dot Amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (RSOA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-photon Absorption in Amplifiers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemiconductor Optical Amplifiers as Broadband Sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Students and professionals.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185292329200,"sku":"9789814489058","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814489058_p0.jpg?v=1763691392","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814489058","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
