The main program is sim_vs_exp   Returns   the output of the lock-in amplifier in a pump-probe experiment, the experiment is similar to [1]   Tips:     To make sure that the results of the simulation are reasonable one should     first test the pulse propagation using main_pump_probe.py for:     delta_tau = [min_delta, 0, max_delta]     If the pulses after the simulation lie inside the window span and nothing     strange is observed its a reasonable assumption to expect that it will work     fine for the other delta_tau. If not a bigger window span, t_point or z_points     should be tested first.   The firts paper that used the simulator is [2]. The example is shown in work [3] and can also be cited     References:  [1] Vallaitis, T., Koos, C., Bonk, R., Freude, W., Laemmlin, M., Meuer, C., Bimberg, D., et al. (2008).
