Incorporation of carrier capture and escape processes into a self-consistent cw model for Quantum Well lasers

We describe a one-dimensional model for the simulation of the cw properties of Quantum Well laser diodes, which incorporates self-consistently the carrier capture/escape processes into the complete semiconductor equations. The approach is applied to simulate some laser structures properties that can...

Sumario:We describe a one-dimensional model for the simulation of the cw properties of Quantum Well laser diodes, which incorporates self-consistently the carrier capture/escape processes into the complete semiconductor equations. The approach is applied to simulate some laser structures properties that can only be described considering carrier capture effects. We point out the importance of these processes in the performance of high power laser diodes operating under cw conditions
