Abstract
A rigorous method that successfully incorporates the ensemble Monte-Carlo technique with the time-domain finite difference method of solving the time-varying Maxwell´s equation is presented. The interactions between electromagnetic fields and carrier transport properties have been studied, and the transient processes in the picosecond photoconductive switch have been revealed. This method is generally applicable to other ultrafast semiconductor optoelectronic devices.<>
