Three-Dimensional Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Facet Reflection Through Parallel Computing

Precise evaluation of facet reflection is highly desirable in the design and simulation of optoelectronic devices such as super-luminescent light emitting diodes (SLEDs) and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). In this study, the Three-Dimensional (3D) Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method was implemented on a parallel computing algorithm for the calculation of facet reflection in optical waveguides. The FDTD provides the versatility …
