Semiconductor Lasers

The subcommittee on Semiconductor lasers solicits papers describing recent advances in both the design, fabrication, and performance of diode lasers, as well as their systems applications. Relevant topics include all aspects of visible lasers, high-power lasers, and laser arrays, high-speed lasers, long-wavelength lasers, single-frequency lasers, tunable lasers, and new materials, processing, and manufacturing techniques for diode laser fabrication and packaging. In addition, a wide spectrum of diode laser applications including printing, optical storage and recording, communications, material analysis, and other systems using diode laser technology will be included in the program.
