Simulation of three dimensional current spreading in photonic crystal VCSEL structures

An efficient simulation technique for calculating the current distribution in a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) is proposed and implemented. The technique consists of a hybrid 1D/3D approach to the problem. The 3D aspect of simulation is essential for devices like a photonic crystal V...
