Time-domain dynamics of reverse saturable absorbers with application to plasmon-enhanced optical limiters

Time-domain dynamics of reverse saturable absorbers with application to plasmon-enhanced optical limiters

An advanced full-wave time-domain numerical model for reverse saturable absorption (RSA) is presented and verified. Rate equations describing atomic relaxations and excitation dynamics are coupled to the Maxwell equations by using a Lorentzian oscillator, which models the kinetics-dependent light–ma...
