SC1259: Introduction to Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) and Applications

This course will review the principles of operation and technological advances of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). The course will begin with an introduction to microcavity laser diode physics, the semiconductor gain media, and the underlying semiconductor fabrication technologies. Specific examples of infrared and visible VCSELs will be included. The major application areas of VCSELs in data communication and sensing will be covered, as well as recent advances in semiconductor microcavity lasers and their emerging commercial applications.
