SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on calculating Relative Intensity Noise (RIN) using laser rate equations in MATLAB. The user provides a MATLAB code snippet that implements the rate equations to plot the frequency spectrum of RIN. Key parameters include carrier lifetime (tau_s = 3e-9), photon lifetime (tau_p = 1e-12), and transparency carrier density (N0 = 1e24). The user encounters issues with calculating and plotting RIN against frequency, seeking assistance from the community.

Hello Everybody,

I'm trying to plot the frequency spectrum of RIN using Matlab.

I've the following code

function p=rateblock
tau_s = 3e-9;
N0 = 1e24;
A =1e-12;
P0 = 1/(A*tau_s);

TSPAN = 0:1e-2:10.23;;
Y0 =[0 0];

[T,Y] = ODE45(@rate_equation,TSPAN,Y0);
subplot(2,1,1)
plot(T*tau_s ,Y(:,1)*N0)
title('carriers density in high laser level')
subplot(2,1,2)
plot(T*tau_s ,Y(:,2)*P0)
title('photons density in activer region') %

dt=1e-2;
s_avg=sum(Y(:,2))/1024;%average photon numbers
ds=Y(:,2)-s_avg;%photon fluctuation with respect to average
TT=1e-6; %total time of integration
N=1024;%fft length
F=[0:N-1]';
RIN=((dt^2)/((s_avg)^2*TT)).*(abs(fft(ds))).^2;
RIN=10*log10(RIN);
plot(F,RIN)
title('RIN')

And for the Rate equation i used this function
function dy = rate_equation(t,y)
dy = zeros(2,1);

tau_s = 3e-9; % carriers lifetime
tau_p = 1e-12; % photons lifetime
A = 1e-12; % linear gain costant
N0 = 1e24; % trasparency carries density
V = 3.75e-14; % modal volume
gamma = 1e-5; % gain compression factor
q = 1.6e-19; % electron charge

I0 = N0*q*V/tau_s; % trasparency current
tau_norm = tau_s/tau_p;
eta = A*tau_p*N0; % efficiency

I = 2.5*I0; % pumping current

dy(1)= I/I0 -y(2)*(y(1) - 1) -y(1);
dy(2) = tau_norm*(y(2)*(eta*(y(1) - 1) -1) + gamma*eta*y(1))


Although I'm facing problems with caluclating the RIN and plot it with frequency ...

Can anybody help me with this issue?
