Optical Modeling

• Advanced design services for optical semiconductor components
• Thermal, electrical, optical simulations
• Modeling of integrated optical designs.
• 3D simulation tools for semiconductor structures applied to a wide range of devices, e.g. light emitting diodes (LED) or vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL).
  Simulation includes electromagnetic fields, far-field profiles, lifetimes of optical modes, leakage losses and more…

Results of our Modeling were also published recently in Journal of Quantum Electronics. In this paper we report the observation of narrow tilted lobes in the far-field emission pattern of leaky oxide-confined vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), confirming very accurate predictions of 3D modeling.
