Single heterostructure lasers: a UK perspective

The gallium–aluminium–arsenide single heterostructure laser was the first commercially successful semiconductor laser produced in the UK. This paper presents a personal perspective on the events leading up to volume production and highlights the fascinating physics involved in this device and the impact of this on the task of engineering a robust component which was eventually manufactured for over 20 years.
