Abstract

We find a novel class of stable dissipative solitary waves with discrete velocities and few cycle temporal duration in a composite medium containing active and passive atoms.

A composite resonant material consisting of amplifying and absorbing two-level quantum dots in a semiconductor host with conductive loss compresses a femtosecond pulse down to one-two optical cycles forming stable solitons.

Few-cycle solitons in a two-component medium

Hervé Leblond, Sergey V. Sazonov, Igor V. Mel’nikov +2 more

Using Maxwell-Bloch equations, we analyze the response of a two-component medium of two-level atoms driven by a two-cycle optical pulse beyond the traditional approach of slowly varying amplitudes and phases. We show that the notions of carrier, envelope, phase and group velocities can be generalized to this situation, and that for optical pulses of a given duration, the optical field can evolve into temporal few-cycle solitons.

Subcycle optical solitons in a medium with several resonances

A. V. Pakhomov

We theoretically demonstrate the existence of subcycle solitons in a medium with several optical resonances, with the soliton duration smaller than the periods of all resonant transitions in the medium. We show that the evolution of the electric field in this case is governed by the generalized sine-Gordon equation. We find the solitary-wave solutions of this equation both in the case of a conservative and dissipative optical medium. It is shown that stable subcycle solitons in general can only exist in an initially preexcited medium with nonresonant losses. In this case, half-cycle dissipative solitons can be formed and steadily propagate in the resonant medium. In contrast, the stable conservative solitary waves are obtained to only exist at integer ratios of the transition dipole moments of all resonances that are involved.
