VCSEL

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser Simulations

VCSEL is used in conjunction with the ATLAS framework to produce physically based simulations of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). VCSEL joins sophisticated device simulation to obtain electrical and thermal behavior with state of the art models for optical behavior.

Key Features

• Self-consistent solution of the equations describing device electrical, thermal and optical behavior
• Self-consistent solution of the Helmholtz equation in cylindrical coordinates to accurately predict optical intensity distribution for complex structures with multi-layer distributed Bragg reflector mirrors as well as strained multiple quantum well active regions
• Models for gain and spontaneous recombination that include the effects of quantum confinement and of lattice mismatch induced strain
