Abstract:
A study is made of the possibility of describing the statistical characteristics of a strong
electromagnetic field interacting with a quantum medium by the density matrix method.
An equation is found for the density matrix which enables one to determine the change in
the field statistics from the well-known solutions of the semiclassical nonlinear equations
of Maxwell.
