Convergence criteria for probabilistic Markov chains modelling of photonic crystal surface emitting lasers

Abstract

Probabilistic Markov Chains modelling to define the relationship between microscopic scattering and macroscopic device level losses of photonic crystal surface emitting lasers (PCSEL) is reported. Here, we assume a priori knowledge of the microscopic scattering via simulation or measurement. The commissioning of the simulator, and convergence criteria are discussed.
