More Information
Summary:A numerical model for semiconductor laser diodes that predicts laser performance in high speed optical interconnect applications has been developed. The model is based on the temporal numerical simulation of the rate equation for semiconductor laser diodes. The popular math package MATLAB has been used to simulate the dynamic behavior of carrier and photon density. The term turn on delay time is defined to describe the different response of carrier and photon when injection current is applied. The results under constant and varying injection current are also analyzed in detail.
