The modeling comprises numerical simulations of the laser cavity with evolution of non-uniform carrier density, photon density, temperature and index. We measure unfolded laser cavities to validate simulation methods and input parameters.EnglishHigh powerLaser diodeSaturationSimulationUnfolded cavityConference Paper
