Abstract

An ensemble Monte Carlo technique has been developed for the simulation of optical pulse-and-probe and dual pulse correlation experiments with tunable laser sources in InGaAs thin films lattice matched to InP. Electrons and holes, and all scattering mechanisms, including carrier-carrier scattering, have been included. The time evolution of electron and hole distributions, and optical absorption have been simulated. Results are correlated with measured data from the research group of C. Pollock at this conference. It was found that inhomogeneity effects and heavy and light holes are necessary for good agreement with experimental data. Finally the extraction of time constants from measurements is a1dresset
