LASER

Semiconductor Laser Diode Simulator

Laser is the world’s first commercially available simulator for semiconductor laser diodes. Laser works in conjunction with Blaze in the ATLAS framework to provide numerical solutions for the electrical behavior (DC and transient responses) and optical behavior of edge emitting Fabry-Perot type lasers diodes.

Key Features

• Laser works within the framework of ATLAS and Blaze. ATLAS provides the framework integration. Blaze provide electrical simulation
• Self-consistently solves the Helmholtz equation to calculate optical field and photon densities from which field patterns may be derived
• Accounts for carrier recombination due to spontaneous recombination and stimulated emission using electronic band structure models based on the k•p method
• Calculates optical gain as functions of photon energy and quasi-Fermi levels or carrier concentrations
• Calculates gain and spontaneous recombination in quantum wells including strain effects
• Predicts laser light output power and light intensity profiles corresponding to the fundamental and higher order transverse modes
• Calculates the light output and modal gain spectra for multiple longitudinal modes
• Laser threshold current and gain as a function of bias
