SIT soliton formation influenced by the dynamic Stark effect

Abstract

The soliton formation is considered which is feasible in quasi-resonant media of multilevel atoms modeled by the generalized two-level systems, taking account of the dynamic Stark effect. A soliton solution of the extended Maxwell-Bloch equations system is found, bistability properties thereof being predicted.

Local-field effects in a dense ensemble of resonant atoms: Model of a generalized two-level system

Anatoly A. Afanas'ev, Andrey G. Cherstvy, R. A. Vlasov +1 more

The local-field effects are considered which are feasible in a dense ensemble of resonant atoms modeled by multilevel quantum systems. Our approach is based on the generalized two-level system [V.S. Butylkin, A.E. Kaplan, and Yu.G. Khronopulo, Zh. \'Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 59, 921 (1970)]. Making use of this model, we take account of the nonresonant polarization and Stark shift of the absorption line due to the difference in linear polarizabilities of atoms in ground and excited states. With near dipole-dipole interaction and quadratic Stark effect included simultaneously, new features of the hysteresis behavior of the population difference as a function of the external-field intensity are predicted.

Bistable moving optical solitons in resonant photonic crystals

R. A. Vlasov, Alexander M. Lemeza

We consider some new aspects of the formation of moving optical solitons in a medium of Bragg-type resonant grating doped with two-level atoms. For generality, account is taken of the local-field effect assisted by a sufficiently high density of resonant atoms. It is established analytically that there exists a family of soliton solutions to the two-wave Maxwell-Bloch system of equations, with these solitons exhibiting bistable properties. The existence of bistable solitons and their properties are confirmed by numerical simulations.

Dissipative solitons of self-induced transparency

Guram T. Adamashvili, David J. Kaup, A. Knorr

A theory of dispersive soliton of the self-induced transparency in a medium consisting of atoms or semiconductor quantum dots of two types is considered. A two-component medium is modeled by a set of two-level atoms of two types embedded into a conductive host material. These types of atoms correspond to passive atoms (attenuator atoms) and active atoms (amplifier atoms) with inverse population of the energetic levels. The complete solution is given of the Maxwell--Bloch equations for ensembles of two-type atoms with different parameters and different initial conditions by inverse scattering transform. The solutions of the Maxwell--Bloch equations for many-component atomic systems by inverse scattering transform are also discussed. The influence of the difference between dipole moments of atoms, the longitudinal and transverse relaxation times, pumping, and conductivity on the soliton is taken into account by means of perturbation theory. The memory effects are described in terms of generalized non-Markovian optical Bloch equations. The condition of a balance between the energy supplied and lost is obtained.

Dynamics of solitons in a three-level medium with linear birefringence

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

The dynamics of ultrashort pulses in a three-level or degenerate two-level medium is studied in the framework of integrable systems of the Maxwell-Bloch equations for pulses with a duration much longer than or comparable with the inverse transition frequency, with allowance made for linear birefringence. Using soliton-type solutions, we study the effect of birefringence on soliton conversion for different initial populations of the levels.

Effect of perturbations on the soliton evolution in an amplifying medium

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

The laser-medium model that can be reduced to the Maxwell-Bloch equations for a two-level medium with a pumping is considered. The evolution of a soliton in such a medium is studied in the context of a model close to the integrable one with small perturbations and an arbitrary pumping taken into account. Conditions for the quasi-periodic and chaotic dependence of the soliton parameters on the spatial coordinate are found.
