Abstract: Two-dimensional temperature distributions of thin-film edge-emitting gallium arsenide (GaAs) 3 μm wide ridge lasers transfer-bonded to substrates with different thermal conductivities, k, were simulated in COMSOL. The thermal resistance, Rth, is compared with a simplified steady-state analytic expression.

In the case of need to calculate the solar constant on Mars, the formula would be: 𝑆C = 𝐿⊙4𝜋 ·𝑟2, (3) where the constant 𝐿⊙ is the solar luminosity of 3.828 × 10 26 W and r is the distance of Mars from the Sun, which is 2.2794 × 10 11 m. The solar constant on Mars would therefore be 586 W/m 2 [ 67, 68 ].
