On-resonance self-focusing of coherent optical pulses in absorbers

Analytic and numerical solutions of the Maxwell–Bloch equations, including transverse and timedependent phase variations, predict on-resonance self-focusing (SF) and elucidate its formation due to the combined effect of diffraction and inertial response of the medium. This new SF can be characterized by a simple parameter in terms of the beam and medium parameters. Recently, two independent experiments on SF in Na and Ne demonstrated convincingly this new SF effect for spatially nonuniform self-induced transparency pulses propagating in thick resonant absorbers.
