Conservative finite-difference scheme for the problem of THz pulse interaction with multilevel layer covered by disordered structure based on the density matrix formalism and 1D Maxwell's equation.

On the basis of the Crank-Nicolson method, we develop a conservative finite-difference scheme for investigation of the THz pulse interaction with a multilevel medium, covered by a disordered layered structure, in the framework of the Maxwell-Bloch equations, describing the substance evolution and th...
