Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia - Como (Como)
The Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia is
represented in this project by two distinct Research Units, belonging
to the same institution: one located in Como at the Università
dell'Insubria and the other in Bari, at the Polytechnic of Bari and will
be led by Prof. Massimo Brambilla (Bari).
INFM has developed in the past an expertise of excellence in the formulation
and theoretical/numerical analysis of several theoretical models describing
the coupled spatio-temporal dynamics of the coherent field, the carrier
density and –when applicable- the lattice thermal field, in Vertical
Cavity Semiconductor Resonators of different sorts, including GaAs bulk,
MQW and MQD active media. INFM has first predicted stable CS in such devices
in 1997 and 4 years later INFM contributed to the first demonstration
thereof in a sub-threshold bottom-emitting VCSEL. The group has acquired
top skills in the theoretical modelling and analyses of spatially extended,
nonlinear optical system, pattern formation and soliton formation in optics
with a special focus on semiconductor devices. Numerical codes and are
developed inside the group. Numerical simulations will be performed on
adequate resources, as the INFM group has recently acquired a cluster
for parallel computing. Project funding will ensure appropriate updating
and increase of the computing power.
