Abstract

Quantum cascade lasers are the sophisticated modern semiconductor devices of quantum electronics needed for coherent radiation generation in mid infrared and terahertz regions. The development of respective simulation software needs special efforts of quantum and software engineering to make the simulation tools usable not only on powerful computer clusters but also on desktop computers. The present short paper and the corresponding conference presentation discuss the development of desktop simulator QCLSIM1 for mid-infrared AlGaAs/GaAs quantum cascade laser structures.
