Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are relatively novel sources of mid-infrared and terahertz radiation. In their envisaged applications advanced operating modes, such as frequency comb operation or ultra-short pulse generation, are desired, which require a clear understanding of the processes in QCLs. This understanding can be gained by computer-aided simulation of their dynamical behaviour. This thesis provides a solid basis for the upcoming endeavors by reviewing the theoretical modeling of the QCL dynamics and presenting a software framework for the simulation of those models.
