GaN-Based Laser Diodes Towards Longer Wavelengths and Short Pulses
GaN-Based Laser Diodes Towards Longer Wavelengths and Short Pulses
In 2009 the world celebrated 50 years of lasers, bringing to the attention of the public how deeply lasers and laser related technologies have revolutionized both science and everyday life. Next year will be the fiftieth anniversary of the semiconductor laser. Used as a compact light source with high modulation rates, it transformed telecommunications in combination with glass fibers. Today laser diodes are omnipresent in data storage and communication. Still, most of these applications are base
