Solution of Generalized Optical Bloch Equations by the Method of Matrix Continued Fraction

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A numerical method is developed for solving the optical Bloch equations in the center-of-mass momentum space for a closed V system in a counterpropagating field configuration. The method consists of an iterative procedure based on the matrix continued fraction and a transformation by which the optical Bloch equations can be organized into the tridiagonal matrix recurrence form.
