Where can I find typical values for modeling semiconductor lasers?

[Mr Fantastic]

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.
