Infrared technologies are very important for a wide range of military, scientific and commercial applications. Devices and systems based on semiconductor heterostructure and quantum well and quantum dot structures open up a new era in infrared technologies.This book deals with various topics related to the latest achievements in the development of intersubband infrared photodetectors, reviewed by top experts in the field. It covers physical aspects of the operation of the devices as well as details of their design in different applications. The papers included in the book will be useful for researchers and engineers interested in the physics of optoelectronic devices as well as their practical design and applications.
''Suurya'' is a story based on my life experiences narrated through the protagonist, Suurya. The novel includes an account of my life as a child in undivided India, an eye witness account of the partition of the country in 1947 and of the struggle of refugees in Delhi, in its aftermath. The story follows Suurya through his trials and tribulations of growing up in turbulent, uncertain times as he moves away from his roots, while in his heart he never really gets very far. - Sohinder Nath Chopra
Quantum well devices have been the objects of intensive research during the last two decades. Some of the devices have matured into commercially useful products and form part of modern electronic circuits. Some others require further dev- opment, but have the promise of being useful commercially in the near future. Study of the devices is, therefore, gradually becoming compulsory for electronics specialists. The functioning of the devices, however, involve aspects of physics which are not dealt with in the available text books on the physics of semicond- tor devices. There is, therefore, a need for a book to cover all these aspects at an introductory level. The present book has been written ...
This timely work presents a comprehensive overview of the development of new generations of infrared detectors based on artificially synthesized quantum structures. The growth of quantum wells and superlattices is well documents in this volume, as are the principal new superlattice technologies for long wavelength infrared detection. Featuring insightful contributions from researchers working at the "cutting edge" of this exciting field, this volume is sure to become an essential reference for advanced graduate students and researchers alike.

Maritime power has been a key defining parameter of economic vitality and geostrategic power of nations. This book explores how the first decade of the 21st century has witnessed the rise of China and India as confident economic powers pivoting on high growth rates, exponential expansion of science, technology and industrial growth.
It is the saga of riots that had spread much before the partition of India. There were murders, rapes, abductions, looting, and arson, and the government machinery miserably failed to control it. The law and order had gone haywire. The novel is mainly the story of three young boys who had lost their entire family during the riots. One of them though, academically brilliant and career wise, reached a coveted position but could not adjust with the unfamiliar ambiance and was a social misfit and a failure in life. The other two, through their sheer grit, made a mark in their life and bravely faced all the odds and obstacles in an alien milieu. The novel is full of pathos, events, drama, romance, and typical Punjabi sense of humor. The book advocates against religious bigotry without being didactic, because of which mankind is suffering till date. It is a great subject for a movie.
