Microstructured semiconductor lasers for high-speed information processing

Nature volume 371, pages 571–577 (1994)Cite this article

Abstract

The technology to generate laser light from semiconductor microstructures is developing rapidly. New techniques for epitaxial growth and surface processing allow great flexibility in laser architecture. Highly efficient lasers with submicrometre dimensions, operating indepen-dently or packed together in dense two-dimensional arrays, will soon be used for transmitting, storing and manipulating information with unprecedented speed.
