PICS3D Software
Description
PICS3D, Photonic Integrated Circuit Simulator in 3D, is a state of the art 3D-simulator for surface and edge emission laser diodes, SOA, and other similar active waveguide devices. The 2D/3D semiconductor equations (drift-diffusion, Poisson, etc..) are coupled to the optical modes in both lateral and longitudinal directions. Optical properties such as quantum well/wire/dot optical gain and spontaneous emission rates are computed self-consistently. Starting from the 2016 version, the functionality of our 2D laser solver (LASTIP) has also been folded into PICS3D: this allows for easy simulation of laser devices without significant longitudinal effects and more flexibility for customers working on a variety of laser device designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
PICS3D is a state-of-the-art 3D simulator for laser diodes and related active photonic devices.
PICS3D features 2D and 3D simulation of edge emitting lasers, DFB and DBR lasers, VCSELs, SOAs, SLEDs, WPDs, EAMs, tunable and external-cavity lasers, and more.
PICS3D can be used for any type of active or passive waveguide semiconductor devices, including vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs).
PICS3D performs simulation in time, spectrum, and three spatial dimensions, providing a full view of a laser diode in operation. However, longer computation time may be required.
PICS3D uses a combination of transfer matrix and complex Green function methods to solve for the longitudinal modes of a laser diode. The transfer matrix method divides the longitudinal cavity into subsections and propagates waves between them.
