This book presents the basic aspects of chaotic systems, with emphasis... | | Semiconductor Lasers I: Fundamentals (Optics and Photonics) (Pt. 1)More than three decades have passed since lasing in semiconductors was first observed in several laboratories in 1962 (Hall et al., 1962; Holonyak, Jr. et al., 1962; Nathan et al., 1962; Quist et al., 1962).
