ABSTRACT
Semiconductor lasers play a crucial role in optical data communication and telecommunication applications. Nowadays, high-denition television, video on demand, broadband internet, and mobile phones are available all around the globe. The exponential rise in cost-effective information transmission would not have been possible without the introduction of optical transmission systems, which in turn are enabled by semiconductor lasers. A hundred million new semiconductor lasers are deployed in communication systems every year, generating several billion dollars of annual revenue at the component level [1]. Higher performance semiconductor laser sources are in strong
