1 PREFACE
Optical semiconductor devices are widely used, in fields ranging from optical munication
systems to consumer electronics, and have e indispensable devices in the equipment and systems
making up the infrastructure of our society. Most optical semiconductor devices are optoelectronic pn-
junction devices, such as laser diodes, light-emitting diodes, and photodiodes.
The main interest in the field of optoelectronic devices has shifted from device physics and operation
principles to device applications. That is why we require a wide range of knowledge related to
optoelectronic semiconductor devices.
In this project,
