LD01 – Steady states in dynamical semiconductor laser models and their analysis

Radziunas M.

We present an algorithm for calculating steady states in the dynamic PDE model for SLs admitting gain compression, spatial hole burning, and multilevel carrier rate equations. Presented example simulations rely on 1(time)+1(space)-dimensional traveling-wave- and Lang-Kobayashi-type models.

LD02 – Microscopic modeling of interface roughness scattering and application to the simulation of quantum cascade lasers

Grange T., Mukherjee S., Capellini G., Montanari M., Persichetti L., Di Gaspare L., Birner S., Attiaoui A., Moutanabbir O., Virgilio M., De Seta M.

The theory of interface roughness (IFR) scattering in semiconductor heterostructures is well established in the case of idealized abrupt interfaces. However, in reality, interfaces have a finite width, i.e. interfaces are graded. In such case, the effect of interface roughness, i.e. the breaking of in-plane invariance, a general framework has been lacking to describe the […]

LD04 – Modeling carrier transport in mid-infrared VCSELs with type-II superlattices and tunnel junctions

Torrelli V., Montoya J. A. G., Tibaldi A., Debernardi P., Simaz A., Belkin M. A., Goano M., Bertazzi F.

Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers are promising light sources for sensing and spectroscopy applications in the midinfrared 3 ÷4 µm spectral region. A type-II superlattice active region is used for carrier injection and confinement, while a buried tunnel junction defines a current aperture, decreasing the series resistivity. Highly nanostructured to optimize device performance, mid-infrared VCSELs pose modeling […]

LD05 – Data-Driven Modeling of Non-Markovian Noise in Semiconductor Lasers

Mertenskötter L., Kantner M.

Non-Markovian noise degrades the coherence properties of semiconductor lasers and contributes significantly to broadening of the linewidth. Since modeling of such colored noise systems from first principles is not accessible, we aim for a data-driven modeling approach in which a system of stochastic rate equations shall be reconstructed from time series data.

LD06 – Relative intensity noise of injection-locked epitaxial quantum dot laser on silicon

Chu Q., Zhao S., Grillot F., Wang J., He F., Zhang M., Xu X., Yao Y., Duan J.

This work investigates the relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics of quantum dot (QD) lasers epitaxially grown on silicon subject to the optical injection. The effect of threading dislocation (TD), which acts as nonradiative recombination centers in the Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) process, is considered in the rate equation model. The results reveal that the RIN is enhanced […]

LD07 – Physics-based time-domain modeling of VCSELs

D’Alessandro M., Gullino G., Tibaldi A., Bertazzi F., Goano M., Debernardi P.

This paper presents the results of a physics-based time-domain simulator for a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). We implemented a trapezoidal rule second order backward differentiation formula (TR-BDF2) to simulate the large signal response of the device under investigation, including the parasitic effects of the pin junction arising from an interplay of optical and carrier transport […]

LD08 – Modeling of THz Comb Emission in Difference-Frequency Quantum Cascade Lasers

Popp J., Seitner L., Schreiber M., Haider M., Consolino L., Cappelli F., De Natale P., Fujita K., Jirauschek C.

The generation of terahertz (THz) frequency comb emission by intracavity difference frequency generation (DFG) in a mid-infrared (mid-IR) quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a promising alternative to direct THz QCL frequency comb generation. Concerning their room temperature operation capabilities, these devices are well suited for applications in rotational molecular spectroscopy and sensing. In order to […]

LD09 – Simulation of the Spectral Behavior in High-Power Distributed Feedback Lasers above Threshold

Reggentin M., Koester J.-P., Wenzel H., Knigge A.

We report on the simulations of mode hopping behavior in semiconductor distributed feedback lasers with asymmetric facet reflectivities above threshold and its dependence on the phase between the grating and the high reflective facet.

LD10 – Effect of Self-Phase Modulation on The Signal Quality of Fourier Domain Mode-Locked Lasers

Aşırım O. E., Huber R., Jirauschek C.

In this paper, the impact of self-phase modulation on the noise performance of Fourier Domain Mode-Locked (FDML) lasers is investigated. It is shown that under a relatively high fiber nonlinearity and/or intracavity signal amplitude, an excess amount of noise generation occurs, which can not only lead to poor signal quality, but also operational instability. Hence, […]

We demonstrated ultraviolet laser diode with improved optical and electrical features. By employing linear graded rising aluminium concentration in phases from first quantum barrier to last quantum barrier, the suggested LD design improves internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and output power while minimizing the lasing threshold. The proposed LD increases optical gain while lowering carrier leakage […]
