摘要
A two-dimensional simulator for aid in designing semiconductor lasers is developed. Poisson's equation and the current continuity equations for electrons and holes as well as the wave equation and rate equation for photons are numerically solved. Heterojunctions and carrier degeneracy are treated, and analytical results on channeled-substrate-planar lasers are presented to demonstrate the simulator. Agreement is found between calculated and experimental results; the calculated results clarify the operation mechanism of semiconductor lasers. The present work enables computer simulation to be a practical design aid in research and development of various kinds of semiconductor lasers.
