Hi, I am trying to model a type II GaSb/InAs superlattice through the 8 band k.p method in MATLAB...I have studied general quantum mechanics but have no background in coding. I need to calculate the bandstructure and the CB,VB wavefunctions...can anyone provide me with a sample code for better understanding?? thank you.

Thread 'Unexpected irregular reflection signal from a high-finesse cavity'
I am observing an irregular, aperiodic noise pattern in the reflection signal of a high-finesse optical cavity (finesse ≈ 20,000). The cavity is normally operated using a standard Pound–Drever–Hall (PDH) locking configuration, where an EOM provides phase modulation. The signals shown in the attached figures were recorded with the modulation turned off. Under these conditions, when scanning the laser frequency across a cavity resonance, I expected to observe a simple reflection dip. Instead...
