Abstract

The Maxwell-Bloch equations (MBE) describe the interaction between a two-level quantum mechanical system and an electromagnetic wave. They are widely used in nonlinear optics in general and to model quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in particular [1]. Due to their nonlinearity, numerical methods are usually required to solve the equations. In order to cope with the computational complexity that arises, the rotating wave approximation (RWA) is frequently applied. However, Ziolkowski et al. showed that the RWA result omits substantial features of the solution [2].
