Abstract

Optoelectronic systems can be intricate and difficult to analyze. With the necessary integration of new devices as well as with the increase in complexity of optoelectronic systems, analysis and design of such systems has become a lengthy and time-consuming effort. However, the use of efficient computer simulation tools with accurate device models can help alleviate such problems. Currently we are developing an optoelectronic system simulator that makes use of a new quantum-well laser model.
