"I'm happy to be reference for the SiLENSe program. We have been very happy with the ease of the user interface, and the underlying physical models are comprehensive. We have been particularly impressed by the ability to include parameters for materials other than for the GaN system into the database, which has helped our development work on ZnO-based LEDs. We look forward to a long association with this excellent software package."

"I think SiLENSe is very useful not only as an educational tool for students, but also as a designing tool to optimize blue-LED structures. We are planning to apply this very effective tool to optimize UV LED structures."

"SiLENSe (Simulator of Light Emitters based on Nitride Semiconductor) is an excellent software tool for user, especially for the beginner of the simulation and modeling. It supports the user-friendly interface that even if a person who has no idea about programming can run this simulator. This software based on the simulation of nitride (especially GaN) light emitting diode (LED). But it can also be applied to other materials system such as ZnO-based LED."
