The blue laser diode

"In this book the scientific basis of GaN light emitting devices and the physical concept and basic manufacturing technology of blue light emitting diodes and laser diodes are discussed. The breakthrough in GaN technology opens many new commercial applications for semiconductors, including displays, road and railway signalling, lighting, scanners, optical data storage, and much more. The new application field of power devices is also discussed. The book will appeal to both researchers and engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
