7 Outline 1 Challenge 2 Simulation Technique 3 Simulation Results
8 Usual Approaches Well-known methods for the simulation of optical waves Beam Propagation Method Finite Difference Time Domain Method Finite Element Method (FEM) with standard Finite Elements But: Internal reflections and large resonators cannot be simulated by these methods 1D Transfer Matrix Method (TMM) But: Tapered lasers need a 2D-simulation
9 Idea Trigonometric Finite Wave Elements (TFWE) Special Finite Elements Provide the same solution as the TMM for 1D Helmholtz equation Extendable to higher dimensions Extendable to time-dynamic problems TFWE method combines advantages of TMM and FEM
10 Trigonometric Finite Wave Elements in 1D 1D linear nodal basis functions are multiplied by appropriate sine and cosine functions ,5 P i 1 P i Pi+1 P i 1 Pi P i x sin(kx) nodal_basis nodal_basis*sin(kx).5 1 cos(kx) nodal_basis nodal_basis*cos(kx) x P i 1 P i P i+1 mix(kx) nodal_basis nodal_basis*mix(kx) x These 3 basis functions per node span the Finite Element space V h. k: wave number
11 Trigonometric Finite Wave Elements in 2D Construct TFWE in 2D by a tensor product of 1D TFWE in propagation direction and linear nodal basis functions in perpendicular direction Sinusbasisfunction in 2D Cosinusbasisfunction in 2D Mixbasisfunction in 2D y x y x y x
12 Oscillation Assumption Oscillation Assumption Let u H 2 (Ω) C(Ω) oscillate with an approximate local wave number k. This means, that u = u + exp(ikx) + u exp( ikx), where u + exp(ikx) H 2 ( Ω h ), u exp( ikx) H 2 ( Ω h ), u + xx L 2 ( Ω h ) u xx L 2 (Ω), and u xx L 2 ( Ω h ) u xx L 2 (Ω). 1D: P i 2 P i 1 P i P i+1 P i+2 P i+3 Ωh 1D: Ωh : Ω without grid points Ωh : Ω without grid lines u xx := d2 u dx 2 u xx := 2 u x 2
13 Approximation property of TFWE Oscillation Assumption Let u H 2 (Ω) C(Ω) oscillate with local wave number k. Theorem Let u H 2 (Ω) satisfy the Oscillation Assumption. Then, ( ) u Ih osc (u) H 1 (Ω) Ch(k maxh + 1) u + H 2 ( Ω h ) + u H 2 ( Ω h ) where C can be chosen independently of h and k max, if h, k H 1, ( Ω h ), and k H 2, ( Ω h ) are bounded from above. 1D: k max := max 1 j N k j 2D: k max := max 1 j Ny max 1 i Nx k ij k j : discretized wave numbers k ij : discretized wave numbers N: number of grid points N x, N y : number of grid points h := h h := max{h x, h y } Ih osc : H 2 (Ω) V h : interpolation operator, V h : TFWE space
14 Approximation property of standard Finite Elements Oscillation Assumption Let u H 2 (Ω) C(Ω) oscillate with local wave number k. Theorem Let u H 2 (Ω) satisfy the Oscillation Assumption. Then, we have u I h (u) H 1 (Ω) Ch(k max + 1) 2( u + H 2 ( Ω h ) + u H 2 ( Ω h ) where C can be chosen independently of h and k max, if h, k H 1, ( Ω h ), and k H 2, ( Ω h ) are bounded from above. ) 1D: I h : H 2 (Ω) Vh lin : linear interpolation operator 2D: Vh lin : linear FE space I h : H 2 (Ω) Vh bilin : bilinear interpolation operator Vh bilin : bilinear FE space
15 Conclusion Conclusion Increasing wave number k max, assuming hk max < C: The upper bound for the approximation error for standard FE increases with k 2 max The upper bound for the approximation error for TFWE keeps constant Remark The assumption hk max < C is true in most applications, e.g. in computational optics one has h < Cλ 2π = C k. λ: wavelength of the considered optical wave C, C > : constants independent of h and k

17 System of Coupled Partial Differential Equations Behavior of wave Ẽ is described by the wave equation; assuming Ẽ(x, t) = E(x, t) exp(iωt) leads to 2i k(n A ) E = E + k 2 (n A )E v g t Drift-diffusion equations determine the time-dynamic behavior of the carrier densities n A and n B n A t = (D A n A ) + C 1 n B C 2 n A r rec,a ( E 2, n A ) and n B t = (D B n B ) + C j C 1 n B + C 2 n A r rec,b D A, D B : ambipolar diffusion constants, j: current density, v g : group velocity, r rec,a,r rec,b : recombination densities
