Abstract

MQW lasers show a different electrical behaviour than bulk lasers [1] which cannot be modeled with previous circuit simulation models. Electron and hole densities are different, even in undoped structures (see e.g. [2] and [3]). Hence it is necessary to extend existing simulation models with emphasis on the electrical behavior. Rigorous simulations however, require large amounts of calculation time for deriving a DC characteristic with suitable resolution.
