Extraction of Rate Equation Parameters for Quantum Well Laser Diodes Using DC and Small Signal Measurements
Краткое описание
For the design of photonic networks, numerical simulations are of paramount importance. To reduce the computing time the numerical model for each network component has to be chosen carefully. For laser diodes, rate equation models have proved to be a good compromise between an adequate physical representation and an acceptable computing time. However, the extraction of model parameters from measured data represents a challenging problem.
We present a new parameter extraction method based on measurements of the power-versus-current characteristic, and of the small signal response function for two different operating points. The method allows a unique determination of all required rate equation parameters. By extracting and comparing parameters from measured data registered at different operating points, it is possible to assess the validity of different rate equation models for a certain device under test. This is demonstrated by the evaluation of experimental data presented in [1].
