Hi Amrita,

Thank you. I want to simulate the photorefractive effect, which uses photoconductivity. Is it possible to simulate traps? So light will excite carriers from traps, these will diffuse due to high carrier density to low densities where there's less light, and relax towards another trap. 

I understand Lumerical can do Shockley Read Hall recombinations and Auger, but I want to observe the trapping of space charge. Would this be possible in Lumerical?
