Abstract

There are many applications for mid-infrared light sources which has stimulated intensive research into the physics and technology of narrow gap materials and devices. In this article we give an overview of the development of mid-infrared LEDs and diode lasers being studied in our laboratory. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
