Abstract
Modelling of a Twin ridge waveguide optical Amplifier is reported here . In this paper appropriate physical mechanism such as current spreadi ng, carrier diffusion, waveguiding and switching etc. have been take i nto consideration and the effects on characteristics and performance a s a switch were investigated. With this model, physical phenomenon app ropriate to the device can be analysed with respect to electrical, opt ical and geometrical parameters. Mixture of analytical and numerical t echniques were employed.
