This article presents the derivation of a semi-classical model of electromagnetic-wave propagation in a non centro-symmetric crystal. It consists of Maxwell’s equations for the wave field coupled with a version of Bloch’s equations which takes fully into account the discrete symmetry group of the crystal. The model is specialized in the case of a KDP crystal for which information about the dipolar moments at the Bloch level can be recovered from the macroscopic dispersion properties of the material....

In order to get the fusion of small capsules containing a deuterium-tritium nuclear fuel,
the MegaJoule laser (LMJ) will focus a large number of laser beams inside a cylinder
(Hohlraum) which contains the fusion capsule. In order to control this process we have to
know as well as possible the electromagnetic field created by the laser beams on both
Hohlraum’s apertures. This article describes a numerical tool which computes this
electromagnetic field...
