Decay of the polarization field in a Maxwell Bloch system
The Maxwell-Bloch equations describing the propagation of electromagnetic
waves in
a gas of quantum mechanical systems with two energy levels
is investigated.
The system under consideration consists of a generally nonlinear second order
system of differential equations
for the dielectrical polarization and the density
coupled with Maxwell's equations for the
electromagnetic field.
The goal is to show decay of the polarization field for $t\rightarrow\infty$.
