HAROLD Version 7.0: Introducing "k.p." Model to Enhance Quantum Well Simulation
HAROLD version 7.0 now has a k.p. model for improved simulation of quantum wells.
The new version of Photon Design's highly popular laser diode/SOA simulator now has a full k.p model allowing gain, spontaneous emission and carrier density calculations in the quantum well region to take account the full non-parabolic valence band structure.
Harold 7.0 also includes:
• Support for forward-bias voltages in the Harold QCSE/EAM module.
• Complex version of the mode solver for lossy modes.
• Editable boundary conditions in the HaroldXY mode solver.
• Improvements to the procedure for solving the Schrödinger equation in QWs.
• Multiple bug fixes.
