"Saturation of Absorption with Carrier Kinetics" Tutorial Model for Webinar "Modeling Light-Matter Interactions for Photonics Applications"

Alexander Kildishev, Birck Nanotechnology Center, Purdue University

A basic tutorial model for Webinar "Modeling Light-Matter Interactions for Photonics Applications". The Webinar was organized as a part of IEEE Spectrum Tech Insiders Series and sponsored by COMSOL.

The "Saturation of Absorption with Carrier Kinetics" multiphysics model is built on the recent paper, Opt. Mater. Express 8, 3829-3834 (2018). Verification with alternative numerical methods has been performed by Shaimaa I. Azzam, Purdue University, USA.

Due to space limitations, the model does not include any solutions, but a typical runtime is short (~2 min). COMSOL ver. 5.4 (Wave Optics Module) is required.

It's very useful, and i try to understand this model,but i am afraid this paper "Opt. Mater. Express 8, 3829-3834 (2018) " could not be found.
