Motivation
● Explaining new unexpected measurements
● Feasibility analysis of new ideas and strategies
● Short development time (~ days – weeks)
● Playground to improve understanding, basic optimization rules
● Multi-physics (charge flow, heat flow, ...)
● Design rules for sophisticated simulation tools
ECMI MS23, 15.06.16 Axel Fischer 3 / 21
LTspice
● SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuits Emphasis)
● Commonly used for analog electronic circuits
● Freely available (Ltspice, Ngspice,...)
● Netlist can be generated by scripts, Data output by ASCII file
● Arbitrary current and voltage sources allow for adapting problems

Outline
1. Electrothermal feedback in OLEDs
2. A new concept for organic semiconductor lasers
ECMI MS23, 15.06.16 Axel Fischer 5 / 21
● OLEDs are multi-layer devices composed of organic molecules
● OLEDs can be fabricated on large areas as lighting panels
