The progression of carrier confinement from quantum wells to quantum dots has received
considerable interests because of the potential to improve the semiconductor laser …

Most natural processes occur far from equilibrium and cannot be treated within the
framework of classical thermodynamics. In 1998, Oono and Paniconi [Oono, Y. & Paniconi …

A theory for describing nonequilibrium dynamics in a semiconductor quantum-dot laser is
presented. This theory is applied to a microcavity laser with a gain region consisting of an …

The mechanism of second thresholds observed in several experiments is theoretically
revealed by studying the BEC-BCS-laser crossover in exciton-polariton systems. We find …

In a standard semiconductor laser, electrons and holes recombine via stimulated emission
to emit coherent light, in a process that is far from thermal equilibrium. Exciton-polariton …

Many-body features caused by Coulomb correlations are of great importance for
understanding phenomena pertaining to polariton systems in semiconductor microcavities …

We present a traveling wave model for a semiconductor diode laser based on quantum
wells. The gain model is carefully derived from first principles and implemented with as few …

This paper investigates theoretically the modification of dynamical properties in a
semiconductor laser by a strong injected signal. It is found that enhanced relaxation …

We present a theory for intersubband lasers, based on the solution of the Maxwell-
semiconductor Bloch equations for the laser field and active medium. The collision …

In this simulation study, sensing possibilities are employed in parallel with secure optical
communications, such that smart optical communications are suggested. One VCSEL is …
