In 2009 the world celebrated 50 years of lasers, bringing to the attention of the public how deeply lasers and laser related technologies have revolutionized both science and everyday life. Next year will be the fiftieth anniversary of the semiconductor laser. Used as a compact light source with high modulation rates, it transformed telecommunications in combination with glass fibers. Today laser diodes are omnipresent in data storage and communication. Still, most of these applications are based on infrared or red laser diodes. The only major application using a short-wavelength laser diode is the Blu-ray Disc, which was enabled by the development of laser diodes based on the gallium. | Springer Theses Recognizing Outstanding . Research Wolfgang G. Scheibenzuber GaN-Based Laser Diodes Springer Theses Recognizing Outstanding . Research For further volumes http series 8790 Aims and Scope The series Springer Theses brings together a selection of the very best . theses from around the world and across the physical sciences. Nominated and endorsed by two recognized specialists each published volume has been selected for its scientific excellence and the high impact of its contents for the pertinent field of research. For greater accessibility to non-specialists the published versions include an extended introduction as well as a foreword by the student s supervisor explaining the special relevance of the work for the field. As a whole the series will provide a valuable resource both for newcomers to the research fields described and for other scientists seeking detailed background information on special questions. Finally it provides an accredited documentation of the valuable contributions made by today s younger generation of scientists. Theses are accepted into the series by invited nomination only and must fulfill all of the following criteria They must be written in good English. The topic should fall within the confines of Chemistry Physics and related interdisciplinary fields such as Materials Nanoscience Chemical Engineering Complex Systems and Biophysics. The work reported in the thesis must represent a significant scientific advance. If the thesis includes previously published material permission to reproduce this must be gained from the respective copyright holder. They must have been examined and passed during the 12 months prior to nomination. Each thesis should include a foreword by the supervisor outlining the significance of its content. The theses should have a clearly defined structure including an introduction accessible to scientists not expert in that particular .
