Abstract :
A new quantum well laser simulator that accounts for details of carrier transport, distribution of two-dimensional (2-D) carriers within the quantum well, optical gain spectra, and photon rate equations, is presented. The resulting set of complicated equations is solved using “slack variables”-a new algorithm that is both efficient and stable. Results are compared with experiments to verify the simulator
