Abstract

Circuit simulation models for optical devices are much needed to analyze optical interconnects and properties of optoelectronic integrated circuits. [1] The issue of modeling semiconductor lasers has been addressed by several authors. Previously reported laser models have been mainly for conventional double heterostructure lasers. [2,3,4] However, few adequate models exist for quantum-well lasers. In fact, previous laser models developed for particular device design often fail when the device parameters are changed.
