Abstract
In this chapter we present a mesoscopic theory for the spatio-temporal carrier and light field dynamics in quantum dot lasers. Quantum dot Maxwell--Bloch equations (QDMBEs) are set up that mesoscopically describe the spatiotemporal light field and inter/intra-level carrier dynamics in each quantum dot (QD) of a typical QD ensemble in quantum dot lasers.
