• Resumen

  • Modelling of a Twin ridge waveguide optical Amplifier is reported here. In this paper appropriate physical mechanism such as current spreading, carrier diffusion, waveguiding and switching etc. have been take into consideration and the effects on characteristics and performance as a switch were investigated. With this model, physical phenomenon appropriate to the device can be analysed with respect to electrical, optical and geometrical parameters. Mixture of analytical and numerical techniques were employed.
