A Phase-Modulated Two-Component Pulse in a Dispersive Medium

Abstract

A theory of optical two-component pulse of self-induced transparency in a dispersive medium has been developed. Using the generalized version of the perturbative expansion method, the system of material equations for an ensemble of two-level atoms and the wave equation in a dispersive medium are reduced to coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. A solution in the form of a phase-modulated two-component $$0\pi $$ pulse is obtained. The pulse components oscillate at the sum and difference frequencies in the vicinity of the carrier-wave frequency. Explicit analytical expressions for the parameters and formation conditions of a nonlinear wave, which depend on the dispersive properties of the medium, are presented. Known results are obtained for a particular case.

A two-component phase-modulated soliton in a medium with a two-photon resonant transition

Guram T. Adamashvili, Nugzar T. Adamashvili, M. D. Peikrishvili +1 more

A theory of optical self-induced transparency for a two-component phase-modulated soliton in a medium with a two-photon resonant transition has been developed. It is shown that a two-photon two-component soliton oscillating at the sum and difference frequencies in the vicinity of the carrier frequency can be formed under these conditions. Explicit analytical expressions are given for the form and parameters of non-linear wave under experimental conditions.

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.

Self-induced transparency in a dispersive and nonlinear Kerr host medium

Tsun-Yee Wang, Sien Chi

A steady-state solution that describes pulse propagation in inhomogeneously broadening two-level atoms embedded in a dispersive and nonlinear Kerr lossless host medium has been found. The solution is of an unchirped hyperbolic-secant form with a linear spatial phase delay. The features of the solution are (i) the group velocity, the amplitude, and the width of the pulse are uniquely determined for given parameters of the medium and the carrier frequency; (ii) the group velocity is independent of the density of the resonant atoms; and (iii) the solution can exist in the positive dispersion region.

Self-induced transparency solitons in a nonlinear Kerr host

Tsun-Yee Wang, Sien Chi

We have found a steady-state solution for a pulse propagating in imhogeneously broadened resonant two-level atoms embedded in a dispersive and nonlinear Kerr lossless host medium. The pulse is of an unchirped hyperbolic-secant form with a linear spatial phase delay. There are several salient features in this solution which are different from the results obtained previously. First, for the given parameters of the medium and carrier frequency, the group velocity, the amplitude, and the pulse width are uniquely determined. Second, the group velocity is independent of the density of the resonant atoms. Third, the solution exists in the positive dispersion region, which is different from solitons in fibers.

Two-photon self-induced transparency in a resonant medium. I. Analytical treatment

N Tan-no, Kenichi Yokoto, Humio Inaba

The authors develop a theoretical analysis which describes coherent nonlinear resonant effects where two optical pulses of different frequencies undergo two-photon self-induced transparency (two-photon SIT) in an inhomogeneously broadened three-level system. The field (Maxwell) and atomic (Schrodinger; density matrix representation) equations are coupled in a self-consistent manner by virtue of the resultant macroscopic polarizations at the two frequencies. This treatment is accomplished under circumstances where atomic coherence plays a predominant role. The resulting equations yield a new two-photon area theorem which gives first the intensity dependent, two-photon absorption law analogous to Beer's law for the one-photon transition. Secondly, a 2 pi Lorentzian pulse solution is derived which propagates without loss at the modified pulse velocity.
