A quantum photonic dissipative transport theory (Q413196)

From author's abstract: ``A quantum transport theory for describing photonic dissipative transport dynamics in nanophotonics is developed. The nanophotonic devices concerned in this paper consist of on-chip all-optical integrated circuits incorporating photonic bandgap waveguides and driven resonators embedded in nanostructured photonic crystals.'' A serious remark to this generally very good work should be made. While considering analytical solutions in the weak coupling regime, the authors use the formula for \(u(t,t_0)\) obtained in the appendix. This formula is derived under a bold suggestion that \(A(t - \tau)\) can be replaced by \(A(t)\) in equation (72) which is given by \[ \frac{d A(t)}{dt} + \int_0 ^{t-t_0} dt' \mathbf{g}(t') e^{i\omega_c t'} A(t-t')=0. \] Is it not clear why the analytic solution and the exact numerical solution (see Figure 3) are rather different? In my opinion, the aggregate \(A(t)\) should be found instead with the use of a numerical algorithm for equation (72).
