DESSIS–Laser
Advanced Semiconductor Laser Simulator
DESSIS–Laser is the ISE laser simulator for use in a wide range
of laser structures, including edge-emitting bulk and quantum well,
Fabry–Perot and DFB laser diodes, vertical-cavity surface-emitting
lasers (VCSELs) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and materials
including III–V binary, ternary, and quaternary materials.
DESSIS–Laser brings the power of the leading device simulator
DESSIS to the laser community. Comprehensive charge carrier
transport equations are solved self-consistently with the optical
mode and photon transport equations, facilitating the analysis of
nonlinear effects such as the degradation of laser performance
due to the heating effects and the modulation of the refractive
index by the injected current.
Typical simulation results include laser diode current–voltage
and output power characteristics, near-field and far-field
patterns, optical gain and other various distributions inside the
laser structure, such as optical wavelength, loss, modal gain,
spontaneous emission, current-dependent refractive index, and
transient light power response.
DESSIS–Laser is fully integrated into the ISE TCAD tool suite
with its user-friendly work environment, which makes structure
generation, parameterization, meshing, and visualization fast and
efficient.
