We present an efficient and flexible method for solving the non-linear lasing equations of the steady-state ab initio laser theory. Our strategy is to solve the underlying system of partial differential equations directly, without the need…

Realistic calculations of electron addition and removal spectra rely most often on Green's functions and complex, non-local self-energies. We introduce a shortcut to obtain the spectral function directly from a local and…
