The free carrier plasma dispersion effect is a phenomenon in which the refractive index of a material changes due to the presence of free carriers (electrons and holes) generated by external stimuli like light or electrical fields. This effect is often observed in semiconductors, where the change in refractive index can affect the propagation of light and lead to optical phenomena like spectral broadening or nonlinear effects. It is an important consideration in the design of photonic devices and optical communication systems.
