Nonlinear Control Strategies

Nonlinear Control Strategies, NLCSTR, provides state of the art modelling software for semiconductor heterostructures, lasers and LEDs, that aims to take the guesswork out of laser design and testing. Over the past decades, NLCSTR’s founders were at the spear of development of todays state of the art sophisticated many-body models that have been proven to be able to describe quantitatively correct the essential material properties of semiconductor active material, like, absorption, gain, photo luminescence or carrier losses due to radiative and Auger recombination. The predictive nature of these simulations eliminates traditionally used fit-parameters that obscure the underlying physics and prevent predictability for new devices. The established SimuLase software packages these modelling capabilities in a user friendly graphics-driven tool that allows the design and analysis of devices without requiring expertise in the underlying physics. SimuLase is readily available for most commonly used III-V materials. NLCSTR currently develops a specialized version for TMDC materials.
