摘要
The properties of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are investigated by means of a multiphysical Vcsel Electro-opto-thermal NUmerical Simulator (VENUS). VENUS includes a three-dimensional vectorial electromagnetic code, a description of the quantum well optical response, a heat equation solver, and a quantum-corrected drift-diffusion simulator. The proposed suite includes coupling mechanisms often overlooked in VCSEL simulation and allows to reassess the impact of parameters, which can be critically dependent on implementation details inaccessible in commercial codes. The agreement with experimental results holds the promise of the application of this framework to the computer-aided design of innovative VCSEL concepts.
