Summary

Description
English: Transfer matrix simulation of the dynamic of the electric field when a pulse is shone on a microcavity (in this case a Bragg reflector with a defect in the middle). Most of the pulse is reflected straight away, but the frequencies resonant with the cavity couple to it and the energy is stored in the confined mode. The cavity then relaxes exponentially with a time constant that depends on the Q-factor of the resonance.
