Gap soliton dynamics in a nonuniform resonant structure
Igor V. Mel’nikov, James Stewart Aitchison, Boris I. Mantsyzov
A model for the propagation of coherent pulses along a one-dimensional, resonantly absorbing Bragg grating that includes localized inhomogeneous population inversion at its center is presented. The long-range coupling between the optical field and resonant atoms allows for controllable trapping of a gap soliton by the local inversion, thus opening new opportunities for control of signal transmission and localization of light.
