Problem in simulation of optically pumped VCSEL rate equation

In summary: Additionally, make sure that your tspan values are appropriate for the time scale you are trying to model. In summary, check your initial conditions, parameter values, and tspan values to troubleshoot the lack of a graph output.

this is a optically pumped VCSEL rate equation...


##have to write one editor
function dy = qwer(t,y)
dy = zeros(2,1);

h=6.62e-34; %plank's constant
c=3e10; % speed of light
La=42e-7; %active layer thickness
Ap=154e-10; %pumped area
lamda_p=1310e-7; % pump wavelength
eta_abs= 0.0243; %pump absorption coefficient
A=11e8; %monomolecular recombination coefficient
B=8.2e-11; %bimolecular recombination coefficient

dy(1)=(((h*c*La*Ap)*(A*N+B*N^2+C*N^3))/(lamda_p*eta_abs*eV))-(y(1)/tn)-G*(y(1)-Ntr)*y(2);
dy(2)=gamma*G*(y(1)-Ntr)*y(2)-(y(2)/ts)+((Bita*y(1))/tn);
end

##have to write another editor

tspan = [0 80e-10];
y0 =[0 0 ];

[T,Y] = ode45(@qwer,tspan,y0);

subplot(2,1,1);
plot(T,Y(:,1),'k');
title('carrier densities');
xlabel('time');
ylabel('densities');
subplot(2,1,2);
plot(T,Y(:,2),'k');
title('photon densities');
xlabel('time');
ylabel('densities');

if i run this code i got this(1.jpg) graph..

now i want to replace N to y(1) at dy(1) equation

Sure, I can help you. It looks like the problem may be with your initial conditions or the values of your parameters. I would suggest checking those to make sure they are accurate. Also, try running the code with different values for the parameters to see if you can get a graph. It's possible that the values used in the original code are not producing a graph because they are too small or too large.
 

1. What is a VCSEL and why is it important?

A VCSEL, or Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser, is a type of semiconductor laser that emits light perpendicular to the surface of the chip. It is important because it has many applications in optical communication, such as in data centers and fiber optic networks, as well as in sensing and imaging technologies.

2. What is the optically pumped VCSEL rate equation?

The optically pumped VCSEL rate equation is a mathematical equation that describes the dynamics of the VCSEL, specifically the rate at which it emits light. It takes into account factors such as the optical gain, carrier lifetime, and cavity losses.

3. What are some challenges in simulating the optically pumped VCSEL rate equation?

One of the main challenges in simulating the optically pumped VCSEL rate equation is accurately modeling the complex physical processes involved, such as carrier recombination and photon generation. Another challenge is accounting for external factors, such as temperature and bias current, which can affect the performance of the VCSEL.

4. How can the optically pumped VCSEL rate equation be used in practical applications?

The optically pumped VCSEL rate equation can be used to predict the behavior and performance of VCSELs in different operating conditions. This information can then be used to optimize the design and performance of VCSEL-based devices and systems, such as in optical communication networks.

5. What are some current research areas related to the optically pumped VCSEL rate equation?

Current research in this field is focused on improving the accuracy and efficiency of simulation methods for the optically pumped VCSEL rate equation, as well as exploring new applications for VCSELs, such as in quantum technologies. There is also ongoing research on developing new types of VCSELs with improved performance and functionality.
