This tutorial discusses the principles of operation of III–V semiconductor diode lasers, the use of distributed feedback, and high-power laser arrays. The semiconductor laser is a robust miniature versatile device, which directly converts electricity to light with very high efficiency. Uses in pumping solid-state lasers and in fiber-optic and point-to-point communications are reviewed.
