Coherent effects in a nonlinear birefringent resonance impurity-doped fiber
S. O. Elyutin
Abstract
The polarization and spatiotemporal dynamics of coherent pulses propagating in a doped birefringent nonlinear fiber are modeled with the inclusion of the local Lorentz field. The numerical solutions describe the full set of equations for circularly polarized components of a coherent optical pulse coupled to the inhomogeneously ensemble of doped resonance atoms. The local field is shown to degrade the stability of the $4\ensuremath{\pi}$-decay process. The development of a steady-state signal from the series of multiple photon echoes generated in active fiber is observed in simulations.
