Abstract: This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for the Maxwell-Bloch system which describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a polarized quantum-mechanical medium with two energy levels. The main goal is the investigation of the large-time asymptotic behavior of the solutions if there are no relaxation terms in the equations governing the polarization field and the density.
