A Parallel Q-Method for a Semiconductor Laser Array Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A time-dependent, two-dimensional model of a semiconductor laser array is numerically studied by means of Θand Newton-Raphson methods. A parallel version of the BiCGSTAB algorithm for the solution of the linear equations resulting from the Newton-Raphson technique is presented. It is shown that the proposed method reduces by half the number of messages and, by means of communications overlapping, allows to achieve a near-to-perfect speedup in the computations.

Efficient Parallel Solution of a Semiconductor Laser Array Dynamics Model
Communication overhead on parallel applications is usually the most important handicap to reach a perfect speedup. The reduction of both the number and the size of messages has been the common direction of both programmers and parallelizing compilers. However, the appearance of new parallel computers allowing for the overlap of computations and communications has opened new ways to do research....

The laser array waveguide designed and simulated in this thesis is highly mode discriminant and able to take advantage of spatially dispersive high-power pumping sources, such as, semiconductor laser diode arrays. The waveguide measures 5cm x 0.5cm and consists of an array of five 4Am x 4Am single mode Nd +3 doped glass lasers embedded in double cladding to improve total pumping efficiency. The...
متن کاملUsing of Broadened Asymmetric Waveguide Structure for 980nm Diode Laser
Laser diode beam divergence is the main parameter for beam shaping and fiber optic coupling. Increasing the waveguide layer thickness is the conventional method to decrease the beam divergence. In this paper, the broadened asymmetric waveguide is introduced to decrease the divergence without increasing the optical power. The asymmetric waveguide was used to shift the vertical optical field to n...

متن کاملImproving 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...
