Abstract
Semiconductor lasers have the potential to meet demands for next generation high speed optical networks. Their low cost, wide tunability, low power consumption, and very good spectral response make them ideal transmission sources. This paper presents a review of the current applications, commercial availability, and future directions of semiconductor lasers. Comparative analysis of these lasers identifies their deployment in different optical networks.
