Abstract

Based on the coexistence of a self-induced soliton with a nonlinear Schrodinger soliton we demonstrate soliton cloning in a three-level system interacting with two resonant fields in a nonlinear waveguide. With this new technique is possible to make copies of a soliton from one wavelength to another wavelength.

The simultaneous propagation of two optical pulses through a doped nonlinear dispersive medium modelled by a resonant three-level system was investigated numerically, within the framework of a pair of coupled extended nonlinear Schrödinger equations. These included the contribution of the dopant resonances whose dynamics is governed by Bloch equations. In this work, we review the interesting possibilities on the manipulation of fields such as cloning, breakup and soliton interactions, that the combination of coherent population trapping with nonlinear dispersive media offers.

Coherent interaction effects in pulses propagating through a doped nonlinear dispersive medium

Using a numerical approach we report on the cloning dynamics of simultaneous self-induced transparency (SIT) and nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) solitons in a doped nonlinear dispersive medium. This technique involves a three-level atomic system interacting resonantly with two optical fields within a Lambda scheme. As a result, a pulse in the signal frequency is transformed into a replica of the pulse in the pump frequency. The atomic population evolution shows that the basic mechanism behind the cloning process is the coherent population trapping effect. Furthermore, it is shown that the signal clone presents characteristics of both the SIT soliton and NLS soliton.

Soliton interaction in a nonlinear waveguide in the presence of resonances

E. J. S. Fonseca, Solange Bessa Cavalcanti, J. Miguel Hickmann

The simultaneous propagation of two optical pulses through a nonlinear dispersive medium composed of a resonant three-level system is investigated. By choosing a soliton of area 4 pi and order N=2 at the pump frequency, together with a weaker pulse with a sech profile at the signal frequency, we show that the pump soliton breaks up into a pair of solitary waves which are cloned to the signal frequency. Due to a combination of coherent population trapping and nonlinear dispersive effects, the pair interacts in a repulsive fashion so that the taller wave travels faster than the shorter one.

Transformation of a self-induced transparency soliton into a nonlinear Schrödinger soliton in doped fibers and semiconductor waveguides

Victor V. Kozlov

A self-induced transparency soliton in a near-resonant two-level system exhibits properties of a nonlinear Schrödinger soliton. The interplay between near-resonant and nonresonant nonlinearities in doped fibers offers the possibility of effective control of the soliton’s parameters. As an example, it is shown that a wide range of frequencies is suitable for nonlinear Schrödinger 2π-soliton generation in semiconductors.
