Hi guys,

I am trying to simulate a 1 ps long plane wave propagating in a dispersive material, with the wave optics transient module. According to the drude-lorentz model, when the frequency of pulse approximate the resonance frequency, this frequency component should have a very low group velocity and basically just oscillate around the input interface. But COMSOL doesn't give such results. Can anyone explain why? I am using the 'drude-lorentz-media' example from the wave optics module. Thanks!
