Nanostructure Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers: Building Blocks for All-Optical Processing - Engineering Materials (Hardback)

From the reviews:

"This book mainly focuses on quantum-dot-based semiconductor optical amplifiers. It includes basic principles, design and simulation methods, optical characterizations, high-speed switching performances and functional applications. It is well organized, and it includes references in each chapter. ... a very good guide for graduate students as well as researchers and engineers working in the research and development of semiconductor optical amplifiers and all-optical signal processing."
