Due to their intuitiveness, flexibility, and relative numerical efficiency, the macroscopic
Maxwell–Bloch (MB) equations are a widely used semiclassical and semi …

We use the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solution of the full-wave vectorial Maxwell-
Bloch equations for a two-level quantum system developed earlier, to investigate the …

We propose and develop a method for theoretical description of circularly (elliptically)
polarized optical pulse resonant coherent interactions with two-level atoms. The method is …

A new and efficient proposal for all-optical tunable devices and systems using
electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is proposed. For this purpose a slab doped …

We present a novel method to solve the Maxwell-Liouville-von Neumann (MLN) equations in
an accurate and efficient way without invoking the rotating wave approximation (RWA). The …

There have been significant advances in computational electromagnetics (CEM) in the last
decade for a variety of antennas and propagation problems. Improvements in single …

Quantum optics unites physical optics and the quantum field theory of light. A fundamental
consequence of light-field quantization is the appearance of vacuum fluctuations, or …

We propose a potential-based form of the FDTD scheme, with potentials driven by sources
that are themselves simple dynamical systems. This formulation admits a radiative boundary …

In this thesis, a modal decomposition method and a time-frequency-domain formalism for the
analysis of multimode dynamics of semiconductor ring laser are developed. The diffusion …

This is a resubmission of an unfunded proposal EP/C006224/1, rated outstanding in
research quality and overall quality by each of the three referees. Since our initial …
