Abstract
This paper demonstrates simulation tools for edge-emitting multi quantum well (MQW) lasers. Properties of the strained MQW active region are simulated by eight-band kp calculations. Then, a 2D simulation along the transverse cross section of the device is performed based on a drift-diffusion model, which is self-consistently coupled to heat transport and equations for the optical field. Furthermore, a method is described, which allows for an efficient quasi 3D simulation of dynamic properties of multi-section edge-emitting lasers.
