Abstract: The propagation of a two-dimensional electromagnetic pulse in a semiconductor superlattice is investigated. For the first time, inhomogeneity of the pulse field along the superlattice axis is taken into account. The electromagnetic-field evolution and the charge density in a sample are described with the help of the set of Maxwell equations and the continuity equation. As a result of numerical modeling, the possibility of propagation of the two-dimensional electromagnetic pulse in the superlattice is shown. It is established that the propagation of the electromagnetic pulse results in redistribution of the electron concentration in the sample.
