This dissertation presents a multidimensional simulation approach for tunable
edge-emitting lasers with a focus on modeling in full three dimensions. It
covers a broad range of monolithically-integrated widely- tunable semiconductor
lasers. An efficient optical mode solver allows for the solution of the
electrothermal-optical device equations in a fully self-consistent manner. To
handle the characteristic mode jumps observed in widely tunable lasers, a
numerical underrelaxation approach for the coupling between the electrothermal
and optical problem was necessary. Comparison of simulated tuning maps to
measurements demonstrates that this implementation, which is incorporated into Synopsys
simulator TCAD Sentaurus Device, meets the requirements of device engineers.
About the Author
Lutz Schneider received his Masters
Degree in Theoretical Physics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology
(ETH), Z¨urich, in 2001. His diploma thesis was carried out at NASA Ames
Research Center, California, and funded by an ETH scholarship. During his
studies he spent one year at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. From 1998 to
1999, he worked in the Theoretical Methods Group at the ABB Corporate Research
Center. In 2001, he joined the Computational Optoelectronics Group at the
Integrated Systems Laboratory at ETH as a research and teaching assistant. He
spent three months at the University of California, Santa Barbara, as a
visiting researcher in 2003. His main research interests are in the field of
numerical modeling and simulation of semiconductor optoelectronic devices.
