3D Simulator for Semiconductor Lasers and Optical Devices PICS3D
With the addition of Crosslight's FDFD, it is now possible to solve high-resonance structures accurately and significantly faster than FDTD, expanding the applications of the analysis.
<Main Features> ■ Suitable for the design and analysis of devices where the effects in the resonator direction are important. ■ Lasers including diffraction gratings such as DFB, DBR, and VCSEL can be calculated using mode coupling theory and multilayer film optical theory. <Diverse Physical Models and Functions> ■ Coupling coefficients of waveguides and gratings (first-order and second-order gratings). ■ Longitudinal carrier density distribution, optical gain, and light intensity for the main and side longitudinal modes. ■ Calculation of surface emission mode distribution for second-order grating DFB lasers. ■ Output and frequency variation for different longitudinal modes. ■ Side mode ratio, linewidth, product of linewidth and output, effective alpha, second harmonic distortion, surface emission output (second-order grating DFB). ■ Mode output spectra under different laser surfaces and arbitrary bias conditions. ■ Mode output spectra under different bias conditions and over time. ■ AM/FM small signal modulation response and FM/RIN noise spectrum under arbitrary bias conditions. ■ Second harmonic distortion spectrum. ■ For other functions and details, please download the catalog or contact us. ■ If you wish to request a trial version, please contact us using the information below.
