Study of Well Barrier Hole Burning in Quantum Well Bistable Lasers

Ganesh Madhan M., Vaya P.R., Gunasekaran N., Anna University, IN

Quantum carrier capture and release effects on optical bistability in multiple quantum well (MQW) lasers are studied using the well barrier hole burning model. The ratio of carrier capture to release time (h) is varied [...]

Compact Modeling of Bistable Electrostatic Actuators

Xu J., Darling R.B., Lauritzen P.O., University of Washington, US

A compact circuit simulation model for a bistable electrostatic cantilever actuator is presented which is appropriate for circuit and system simulation of RF MEMS switches. This simplified model captures the essential physical features of a [...]

Circuit Simulation of Quantum Well Bistable Laser Diodes

Madhan M.G., Vaya P.R., Gunasekaran N., Anna University, IN

A large signal electrical equivalent circuit for the multi quantum well bistable laser diode has been developed from the rate equations. The dc and transient analysis are carried out using PSPICE circuit simulator. It is [...]
