LD09–Over 100 GHz 3-dB down Bandwidth by Direct Modulation of a Coupled Cavity DFB-LD due to Photon-Photon Resonance

Numai T.

This paper reports on 3-dB down bandwidth of 110.6 GHz by direct modulation of a coupled cavity DFB-LD with phase-shifted/uniform gratings due to photon-photon resonance when the injected current is 3.5 times the threshold current.

IS03–Simulation of cascaded polarization-coupled systems of broad-area semiconductor lasers

Radziunas M., Montiel-Ponsoda J., Garre-Werner G., Raab V.

We present a brightness- and power-scalable polarization beam combining scheme for high-power, broad-area semiconductor lasers. To achieve the beam combining, we employ Lyot-filtered optical reinjection from an external cavity, which forces lasing of the individual diodes on interleaved frequency combs with overlapping envelopes and enables a high optical coupling efficiency. We demonstrate how repeatedly introduced […]

SC02–Analysis and optimization of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells by full opto-electronic simulation

Aeberhard U., Haeusermann R., Schiller A., Bluelle B., Ruhstaller B.

We present a comprehensive opto-electronic simulation framework for the computational analysis and optimization of perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, consisting of a combination of a multiscale optical model for the simultaneous consideration of interference in thin coatings and scattering at textured interfaces with a mixed electronic-ionic drift-diffusion transport model that captures the peculiarities of the geometries […]

N06–Hybrid Electro-Optical Pumping of Plasmonic Nanostructures with Gain

Akter N., Becerril-Gonzalez J.J., Oskam G., Pala N., Ares-Muzio O.

We report on the numerical and experimental study of the optical spectra of Mo-Al2O3 nanocomposites that were grown using sequential DC and RF sputtering. The measured spectra were compared with the ones calculated using FDTD simulations to analyze the prediction accuracy of the approach.

NM03–Electronic and Optical Properties of Hydrogen-Terminated Diamond Doped by Molybdenum Oxide: A Density Functional Theory Study

McGhee J., Georgiev V. P.

In this work we investigate the surface transfer doping process induced between a hydrogen-terminated (100) diamond and a metal oxide MoO3, using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) method. Using DFT, we have calculated the electronic and optical properties of the hydrogen-terminated diamond and established a link between the underlying electronic structure and the charge transfer […]

MM06–Tight binding parameterization through particle swarm optimization algorithm

Di Vito A., Pecchia A., Auf der Maur M., Di Carlo A.

The tight binding (TB) approach represents a good trade-off between accuracy and computational burden. For this reason, it is widely used for device simulations. However, a proper description of a physical system by means of TB requires an accurate parameterization of the Hamiltonian matrix elements (HME), that is usually done by fitting over suitable properties […]

LD10–Dynamic properties of two-state lasing quantum dot laser for external optical feedback resistant applications

Duan J., Zhou Y., Huang H., Dong B., Wang C., Grillot F.

This work investigates the dynamics of two-state quantum dot lasers through semi-analytically solving a set of rate equations. Simulations reveal that the occurrence of excited state lasing reduces the damping factor of the laser while increases the linewidth enhancement factor associated to the ground state transition. These results are in good agreement with the experimental […]

IS04–Optoelectronic III-V nanowire implementation of a neural network in a shared waveguide

Winge D. O., Limpert S., Linke H., Borgstrom M. T., Webb B., Heinze S., Mikkelsen A.

Neural node components consisting of III-V nanowire devices are introduced. This allows for the construction of a small footprint specialized neural network. A broadcasting strategy is developed which removes the need for inter-node wiring. As a model system, an insect brain navigational circuit is chosen and successfully emulated using the introduced nodes and network architecture. […]

SC07–Interpretation of a capacitance in polycrystalline solar cells: time domain simulations

Wisniewski K.

In this work, we presented simulations of capacitance of polycrystalline solar cells using time-dependent calculations based on the finite element method. Our starting point was capacitance transient measurements of thin-film CIGS solar cells, which to this day, after twenty years of investigations, do not have the correct theoretical description. We showed, that there exists a […]

LD11–Influence of Coulomb Scattering on the Coupling between Longitudinal Modes in Nitride Laser Diodes

Kuhn E., Uhlig L., Wachs M., Schwarz U.T., Thränhardt A.

Due to their small separation of longitudinal modes, Fabry-Perot type laser diodes show rich mode competition effects. For example streak camera measurements show cyclic mode hopping, where the currently active longitudinal mode changes from lower to higher wavelengths. This effect can be explained by beating vibrations of the carrier densities in the quantum wells and […]
