  • Abstract
    A transport model for quantum cascade lasers based on the Pauli master equation is presented. An efficient Monte Carlo solver has been developed. The numerical methods to reduce the computational cost are discussed in detail. Finally, the simulator is used to obtain current-voltage characteristics as well as microscopic quantities of a mid infrared QCL structure.
