Abstract

We present an approach for solving nonlinear coupled differential equations using personal computer spreadsheet programs. This approach is used to model the phenomena of bleaching and dynamic filtering in saturable absorbing media. The numerical results are presented. Because of their convenient features 3-D spreadsheet programs are useful for modeling many similar physical phenomena. 1.
