Abstract
A typical ridge waveguide laser diode with single GaAs quantum well is theoretically designed and characterized using simulation software PICS3D. The simulator self-consistently combines 3D simulation of carrier transport, self-heating, and optical wave-guiding. Simulation results show that proposed laser structure operates with single mode state at about 0.834 micron with proper threshold current, output power and active region temperature.
