Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) has a shortened overall laser cavity by combining the gain section with a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The overall cavity length can be contracted by placing gain structures inside the DBR. This generally applies to a number of semiconductor material systems and wavelength bands, but this scheme is very well suited to the AlGaAs/GaAs material system with strained InGaAs quantum wells as a gain medium, for example.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods of modeling recovery of a Computer Network System (CNS) based on real-world recovery operations that are non-linear. The system may use a bin packing model that simulates recovery that eliminates idle times in linear estimates for data recovery. For example, the bin packing model may model recovery by actively simulating real-world conditions during recovery in a non-linear fashion. In particular, the bin packing model may fill the active bin with data objects that can be processed and the queue will include data objects waiting to be recovered. As a data object in the active bin is recovered, recovery of another data object may be made available. As such, the bin packing model may move a data object in the queue to the active bin as recovery progresses. Such progression is non-linear and modeled as such.
