A physics-based three-dimensional model for distributed feedback laser diodes
Abstract
A comprehensive physics-based three-dimensional (3-D) model for distributed feedback (DFB) lasers is developed and presented. The model considers self-consistently optical confinement, carrier transport and heat transfer over the two-dimensional (2-D) cross section. It also accounts for the longitudinal spatial hole-burning effect along the laser cavity. A rigorous optical gain model is incorporated into the 3-D model. A number of novel …
