Slow-light soliton dynamics with relaxation

Abstract

We solved the problem of soliton dynamics in the presence of relaxation. We demonstrate that the spontaneous emission of atoms is strongly suppressed due to nonlinearity. The spatial shape of the soliton is well preserved.

Slow-light soliton stability with respect to atomic relaxation

Ilya P Vadeiko, Andrei V. Rybin, A. R. Bishop

We solved the problem of slow-light soliton dynamics in the presence of strong spontaneous emission of excited atoms. We have demonstrated that the damping of the soliton is strongly suppressed due to the nonlinear interaction.

Slow-light solitons

Ulf Leonhardt

A new type of soliton with controllable speed is constructed generalizing the theory of slow-light propagation to an integrable regime of nonlinear dynamics. The scheme would allow the quantum-information transfer between optical solitons and atomic media.

Stopping a slow-light soliton: an exact solution

Andrei V. Rybin, Ilya P Vadeiko, A. R. Bishop

We investigate propagation of a slow-light soliton in Λ-type media such as atomic vapours and Bose–Einstein condensates. We show that the group velocity of the soliton monotonically decreases with the intensity of the controlling laser field, which decays exponentially after the laser is switched off. The shock wave of the vanishing controlling field overtakes the slow soliton and stops it, while the optical information is recorded in the medium in the form of spatially localized polarization. In the strongly nonlinear regime we find an explicit exact solution describing the whole process.

Slow-light solitons

Andrei V. Rybin, Ilya P Vadeiko, A. R. Bishop

We investigate propagation of slow-light solitons in atomic media described by the nonlinear � -model. Under a physical assumption, appropriate to the slow light propagation, we reduce the � -scheme to a simplified nonlinear model, which is also relevant to 2D dilatonic gravity. Exact solutions describing various regimes of stopping slow-light solitons can then be readily derived.

Slow-light solitons revisited

Andrei V. Rybin, Ilya P Vadeiko, A. R. Bishop

We investigate propagation of slow-light solitons in atomic media described by the nonlinear $Λ$-model. Under a physical assumption, appropriate to the slow light propagation, we reduce the $Λ$-scheme to a simplified nonlinear model, which is also relevant to 2D dilatonic gravity. Exact solutions describing various regimes of stopping slow-light solitons can then be readily derived.

Non-adiabatic manipulation of slow-light solitons

Andrei V. Rybin, Ilya P Vadeiko, A. R. Bishop

We provide an exact analytic description of decelerating, stopping and reaccelerating optical solitons in atomic media in the non-adiabatic regime. Dynamical control over slow-light pulses is realized via a nonlinear interplay between the solitons and the controlling field generated by an auxiliary laser. This leads to recovery of optical information. We discuss physically interesting features of our solution, which are in good agreement with recent experiments.
