Parallel Simulation of Semiconductor Laser Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
A parallel Hopscotch algorithm for the simulation of semiconductor laser arrays which overlaps the computations and communications is presented. The method uses a Lax-Wendroff scheme for the hyperbolic part of the operators and allows to obtain near-to-perfect speed-ups on MIMD computers. Numerical experiments indicate that semiconductor laser arrays exhibit a rich dynamic behavior ranging from uncoupled to coupled oscillations and chaotic phenomena depending on the width of and separation between the current stripes.

Improving the Thermal Characteristics of Semiconductor Lasers Using a New Asymmetric Waveguide Structure
Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
