In summary, typical values for modeling semiconductor lasers can be found in various resources such as research papers, textbooks, and online databases. These values include parameters such as threshold current, gain, and modulation bandwidth, and can vary depending on the specific type and design of the laser. It is important to consult multiple sources and consider the specific characteristics of the laser being modeled in order to accurately determine these values.

I am working on modelling semiconductor lasers but I have difficulty finding typical/order-of-magnitude values for some parameters I am forced to include. For example the rate of spontaneous emission (B). Does anyone know of a book or other of data values for these types of parameter.

There are a few resources where you can find typical values for modeling semiconductor lasers. One option is to look at published research papers in the field of semiconductor laser modeling. These papers often include a section on the parameters used in the model and their corresponding values. Additionally, some papers may provide a reference to a book or other source for these values.

Another option is to consult textbooks on semiconductor lasers, such as "Semiconductor Laser Fundamentals" by W. W. Chow and S. W. Koch or "Semiconductor Lasers" by M. O. Manasreh. These books typically include tables or figures with typical values for various parameters used in modeling semiconductor lasers.

You can also check with your colleagues or professors who have experience in modeling semiconductor lasers. They may have some recommended sources or be able to provide you with some values from their own research.

Lastly, some manufacturers of semiconductor lasers may have application notes or technical documents that provide typical values for modeling parameters. It may be worth checking their websites or contacting their technical support team for more information.

Overall, while it may take some digging and cross-referencing, there are various sources available where you can find typical values for modeling semiconductor lasers.
 

What are data books/typical values?

Data books or typical values are references that contain standardized and reliable information about the properties and characteristics of various substances, materials, or components used in scientific research and engineering. These values are often based on extensive testing and analysis, and are used as a benchmark for comparison and prediction in experiments.

How are data books/typical values useful in scientific research?

Data books and typical values provide a quick and convenient way to access important information about different substances, such as their physical and chemical properties, melting points, boiling points, and so on. This can save time and effort in conducting experiments, as researchers can refer to these values instead of conducting their own tests.

What is the source of data for data books/typical values?

The source of data for data books and typical values can vary, but they are often compiled from various reputable sources such as scientific journals, textbooks, and industry standards. The data is typically obtained through extensive testing and analysis by experts in the respective fields.

How often are data books/typical values updated?

Data books and typical values are usually updated periodically, as new research and advancements in technology may lead to changes in the values. The frequency of updates can vary depending on the type of data book and the availability of new information.

Can data books/typical values be used for all substances?

Data books and typical values are usually specific to certain substances or materials, and may not cover all possible substances. It is important to check the scope and limitations of a data book before using it for a particular substance to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information.
