The conference will be concerned with all types and all aspects of semiconductor lasers,
covering such areas as growth, processing, integration, system applications, physics, theory,
modeling, simulations, nonlinear dynamics, optical feedback and injection, high-speed
dynamics, new phenomena, new designs, new applications. Submissions of papers addressing
one or more of these items are welcome.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
• laser diode dynamics
• external feedback
• optical injection
• noise
• spectral properties
• VCSELs including polarization and transverse mode behavior of VCSELs
• DFB laser diodes
• tunable laser diodes
• mode locked semiconductor lasers
• multisegment semiconductor lasers
• complex semiconductor laser systems
• semiconductor laser modulation
• coupled semiconductor lasers
• chaotic semiconductor lasers
• synchronization
• patterns in semiconductor lasers
• localized structures in semiconductor lasers
• dilute nitride lasers
• short wavelength semiconductor lasers
• pump laser diodes
• high-power semiconductor lasers
• high-brightness lasers
• semiconductor optical amplifiers
• quantum dots and low-dimensional structures
• novel materials and fabrication processing and integration
• photonic crystal semiconductor lasers
• numerical methods and simulations.

A special session on "VCSELS, Micro-Optics and Photonic Interconnects" will be jointly
organized with the conference on Micro-Optics.
