Simulation of the absorption of a femtosecond laser pulse in crystalline silicon

Influence of accumulation effects on heating of silicon surface by femtosecond laser pulses

“…At ultrashort pulse length (less than few picoseconds), the absorptivity is determined by electron-electron collision rate and is a function of T e [24]. In the approximation of the high-frequency skin-effect, the absorptivity [25] …”

Diagnostics of the efficiency of surface plasmon-polariton excitation by quantum dots via polarization measurements of the output radiation

“…The problems hindering the use of plasmon polari ton sources in practice are, on the one hand, the need for bulky and expensive optical schemes for their pumping [6,7] and, on the other hand, the complicat edness of using an electric current for this purpose [8]. Several types of current pumped plasmon polariton generators have been investigated recently.…”
