چکیده
KANJ, HOUSSAM. Circuit-Level Modeling of Laser Diodes. (Under the direction of Dr. Michael B. Steer.) In all semiconductor laser diodes the thermal, electrical, and optical characteristics are integrally related. In this work, a new approach to the modeling of laser diodes that integrates electrical, optical and thermal effects is presented. Also, it is demonstrated how physical device models based on complex differential equations can be easily implemented in the object oriented circuit simulator f REEDA. Implementations of a Double-Heterojunction Laser Diode (DHLD) and a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) diode are described. Simulations and results for both the DHLD and the VCSEL diodes are presented for DC, transient, and Harmonic-Balance analyses. CIRCUIT-LEVEL MODELING OF LASER DIODES

Ultra Low Magnetic Moment (ULM) PIN diodes cause the smallest possible magnetic artifacts in high field MR Imaging. Designers of MR scanners often use CAD packages to simulate their designs but there are no models available in these CAD packages to simulate these important devices until now. A new model for PIN diodes used in MR scanners is presented and is applicable for devices used in higher...

Ultra Low Magnetic Moment (ULM) PIN diodes cause the smallest possible magnetic artifacts in high field MR Imaging. Designers of MR scanners often use CAD packages to simulate their designs but up until now, there have been no models available that show the behavior of the PIN diode in its ON and OFF state as well as in the switching transition between states. A new model for PIN diodes used in...
متن کاملTheoretical Modeling of Intensity Noise in InGaN Semiconductor Lasers
This paper introduces modeling and simulation of the noise properties of the blue-violet InGaN laser diodes. The noise is described in terms of the spectral properties of the relative intensity noise (RIN). We examine the validity of the present noise modeling by comparing the simulated results with the experimental measurements available in literature. We also compare the obtained noise result...
