The numerical simulation of multiple scattering in dense ensembles is the mostly adopted solution to predict their complex optical response. While the scalar and vectorial light mediated interactions are accurately taken into account, the computational complexity still limits current simulations to the low saturation regime and ignores the internal structure of atoms. Here, we propose to go beyond these restrictions, at constant computational cost, by describing a multi-level system (MLS) by an effective two-level system (TLS) that best reproduces the coherent and total scattering properties in any saturation regime. The correspondence of our model is evaluated for different experimentally realistic conditions such as the modification of the driving field polarization, the presence of stray magnetic fields or an incoherent resonant electromagnetic field background. The trust interval of the model is quantified for the D2-line of 87Rb atoms but it could be generalized to any closed transition of a multi-level quantum system.< Réduire
