Summary:

As the demands of the internet and for optical data storage grow there is a steadily increasing demand for higher output power. While some improvements have been achieved, researchers are still looking for a better way. Joined by an international group of research scientist and professors, Paiella, investigates and outlines the experimental technique of intersbbands transitions as a solution. Widely researched and used in industry today, Intersubbands transitions when placed in semiconductors can radically increase data storage capacity while allowing users to send and receive greater amounts of data over the internet or cell phone. This book covers such topics as: Intersubband Emission in Silicon-Based Quantum Structures, Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors, Antimonide, Quantum Cascade Lasers for the 3-5m Atmospheric Window and Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors and Nonlinear Optics with Intersubband Transitions.
