Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Optical Modes
in Photonic Devices

International Workshop

April 10 – 12, 2013

The aim of the conference is to bring together applied mathematicians and scientists from semiconductor laser physics and to give them the opportunity to exchange experience in the field of modeling and simulation of optical modes in semiconductor lasers. The conference focuses on
  • Maxwell equations for active materials,
  • Modeling based on optical modes,
  • Methods for computation of optical modes,
  • Applications to lasers and photonic devices.
The program covers coupling between optical and electronic models ⋅ mesoscopic quantum optics ⋅ Maxwell-Bloch equations ⋅ Helmholtz equations ⋅ singularities ⋅ modeling of open resonators ⋅ (transparent) boundary conditions ⋅ constant flux modes ⋅ cavities in photonic crystals ⋅ (adaptive) finite-element methods ⋅ FITD methods ⋅ broad area lasers ⋅ VCSELs ⋅ optical fiber lasers ⋅ nanoplasmonics ⋅ sensitivity of modes on device design or operation conditions ⋅ mode reduction of dynamic models.
