We derive a nonstandard finite difference scheme for the coupled, nonlinear PDE's modeling laser generated electrons and holes in a semiconductor. Our scheme has the essential feature of giving numerical solutions for which the charge densities are non-negative. Many of the standard schemes do not have this physically required property.
Keywords: laser physics, reaction-diffusion equations, Drift-diffusion systems, nonlinear PDE's.
