A comprehensive
multidimensional model for semiconductor lasers is devised. Particular emphasis
is set on dynamic and noise characteristics. With this novel model, it is possible
to carry out multidimensional electro-opto-thermal simulations of noise and
advanced dynamic effects like harmonic distortion for complex semiconductor
laser devices.
A full calibration including temperature-dependent static, dynamic and noise
characteristics of an AlGaAs VCSEL has been presented. The practical use of the
simulator in an industrial environment is demonstrated by a yield and design
analysis for a single-mode VCSEL. Advanced simulator capabilities including the
power spectrum under modulation, full three-dimensional simulation of a holey
VCSEL, and a distortion analysis for an edge-emitting laser are presented.
Stefan Odermatt was born in Lachen,
Switzerland, in 1978. He received his Dipl. Ing. degree in Electrical
Engineering from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) in 2003. During his studies he
concentrated on semiconductor device physics, electronics and signal
processing. After his studies in March 2003, he joined the Integrated Systems Laboratory,
ETH Zurich, as a research and teaching assistant. His main research interests
are in the field of numerical modeling, simulation and characterization of microelectronic
and optoelectronic semiconductor devices and processes.
Keywords: Halbleiterlaser, semiconductor laser, Rauschen, noise, dynamische Eigenschaften, dynamic
