Laser future trends

Future Trends. Methods of laser cooling and trapping are emerging as of the mid-1990s that have potential new analytical uses. Many of the analytical laser spectroscopies discussed herein were first employed for precise physical measurements in basic research. AppHcations to analytical chemistry occurred as secondary developments from 10 to 15 years later.

The conclusions derivable here are of course limited to a certain extent because they are still based on a restricted model of calculation, and more refined theoretical and corresponding experimental studies must be promoted to establish this type of spectroscopic method. The present results are, however, hoped to provide a useful guide to the future trend of ultrafast laser spectroscopy. 

The relevance of photonics technology is best measured by its omnipresence. Semiconductor lasers, for example, are found in compact disk players, CD-ROM drives, and bar code scaimers, as well as in data communication systems such as telephone systems. Compound semiconductor-based LEDs utilized in multicolor displays, automobile indicators, and most recendy in traffic lights represent an even bigger market, with approximately 1 biUion in aimual sales. The trend to faster and smaller systems with lower power requirements and lower loss has led toward the development of optical communication and computing systems and thus rapid technological advancement in photonics systems is expected for the future. In this section, compound semiconductor photonics technology is reviewed with a focus on three primary photonic devices LEDs, laser diodes, and detectors. Overviews of other important compound semiconductor-based photonic devices can be found in References 75—78.

SFG), have already introduced many new aspects in infrared spectroscopic measurements. This trend will continue in future. However, the Editor believes that many descriptions in this book will not lose their value or relevance, even if infrared lasers more useful than the ones currently existing become available. Also, the book s content is relevant for other more specialized experimental set-ups such as infrared measurements based on utilizing infrared emission radiation from synchrotron orbital resonance (SOR) such facilities are already available at several large-scale, often government, laboratories.
