Thank you. That is really helpful. Much appreciated :D

I'm about to do some study on bifurcations and oscillations in lasers with saturable absorbers. however, my knowledge on lasers is fairly basic, so I'm not sure where to begin or find more information. If anyone could give me some advice, it would be very helpful :). What type of lasers...

That's the same equation that I had. The term -hbar^2/2m.d^2/dx^2 was written as the mometum operator squared, pop^2. I see where it comes from now, thanks :)

Thanks for the help :D. I see now that it is just the time-independent Schrödinger equation, and that the potential is zero inside the well.

I'm using the search engine INSPEC to find some physics papers that I need. The problem is that I need to know the number of citations but can't find this anywhere. I know there is a way of finding them, but I just can't work out how. If anyone knows, I'd be very grateful :D

Hφ(x) =((p2op)/2m + V(x))φ(x) = (-hbar2/2m.d2/dx2+ V(x)φ(x) = E φ(x) This equation is supposed to relate to an electron confined in a one-dimensional potential well. I'm really confused about where it comes from and I do not know what V(x) represents. If anyone could help explain this...
