A hybrid approach that combines the advantages of GaAs mirrors and InP active layers in InP/GaAs wafer bonded 1.31 /spl mu/m VCSELs is described. This novel device concept features intra-cavity ring contacts, five strain-compensated AlGaInAs quantum wells, and an AlInAs/InP tunnel junction in order to reduce absorption by p-doped layers. The tunnel junction is literally confined forming an aperture for current injection and wave guiding. A self-consistent VCSEL simulation software is employed in order to analyze and optimize the internal device physics.

Atomistic calculations of the electronic states in In/sub 0.2/Ga/sub 0.8/N/GaN and GaN/AlN quantum dots (QDs) have been carried out using a polarization-potential-dependent sp/sup 3/ tight-binding method. A valence-force-field method is used for the strain distribution, and a finite-difference method for the polarization-induced potential and field. We find that a strong built-in electric field is induced in the QDs due to the polarization. The field causes the quantum-confined Stark effect in the QDs; i.e., red-shifted transition energies and a spatial separation of electron and hole wave functions.

Investigation of the design constraints of ARROW ( anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide) VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) for stable single mode operation is presented. A simple transfer matrix method is used to analyze the modal characteristics of ARROW VCSELs with the influence of spatial hole burning. The wave equations and rate equations of carrier concentration and photon density are solved self-consistently to study the mechanisms of mode competition.

At PRI, we are building modules for photonics device modeling using MATLAB and FEMLAB and multiresolution analysis techniques. There are many challenges that await technical innovations to make these modules competitive with much higher end software currently available commercially. Our initial emphasis has been on the modeling of nonlinear optical phenomena that advanced devices rely on as well as nonlinear optical processes one may want to control in such semiconductor laser devices for telecom and homeland security applications. We have also modeled superprisms and photonic band gap structures. A comprehensive semiconductor laser diode model is being constructed and tested against experimental data so that gain modeling, carrier, heat and photon transport can all be combined in a predictive module. Wavelets can help choose optimum meshes that are dynamically adapted to capture nonlinear steepening and field concentrations that change over the course of one simulation. Finite element techniques are well suited for static non-uniformities. Finite elements and wavelets are thus seen to play complementary and mutually reinforcing roles.

In-pane polarization dependence of gain in compressively strained quantum-wire (Q-wire) lasers with strain-compensating barriers (SC) is investigated. Strained Q-wire lasers with SC barriers and a cavity normal to wire axis should provide minimum transparency carrier density. In moderately wide Q-wires, highest peak material gain is obtained with lattice-matched barriers when the cavity is parallel to the wire axis. Polarization dependence of the gain in the presence of elastic strain relaxation shows non-trivial dependence on wire width due to a complicated interaction between elastic strain relaxation and quantum size effects.

Prismatic zinc oxide (ZnO) hexagonal microtubes have been fabricated on silicon substrate by vapor transport. It is shown that the ZnO hexagonal microtubes have demonstrated ultraviolet (/spl sim/393 nm) lasing emission under 355 nm optical excitation. Furthermore, the lasing as well as modal characteristics of the microtube lasers are investigated theoretically. It can be explained that the high threshold pump intensity of the microtube lasers is due to high radiation loss near the prismatic facets. In addition, our calculation has shown that the output beam from the microtube lasers has a shape similar to the doughnut ring, which can find application as laser tweezers to trap low refractive index small particles.

The paper presents latest enhancements to the CFD-ACE+ Multiphysics O'SEMI module including efficient optics modeling, material gain modeling, coupled laser near-field optics and automated extraction of compact models from high-fidelity simulations, for system level design. As an example of practical design problem, computational results obtained for the steady-state DC current crowding analysis in an intra-cavity contacted VCSEL is presented. A transient analysis is also performed to compute optical mode competition, I-V and L-I characteristics, parametric simulation, and device design optimization.

The interaction of the injected carriers with the optical modes for particle and energy conservation is examined by using the commercially available device and system simulator, DESSIS. The use of DESSIS for predictive modeling in the design and optimization of high power single mode lasers is demonstrated. The device structure and design parameters including a double quantum-well active region, a ridge width and a ridge angle for the optimization of a leaky-waveguide laser are explained.
