AI Thread Summary

Modeling semiconductor lasers requires specific parameter values, particularly for spontaneous emission rates. Users seek reliable sources for typical values to enhance their modeling accuracy. Recommendations include academic papers and specialized textbooks that focus on semiconductor physics. The link to the Northwestern University paper is suggested as a potential resource. Accessing comprehensive data is crucial for effective semiconductor laser modeling.

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.

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
