We present the results of a series of numerical experiments on the propagation of pairs of coupled short optical pulses in media with inhomogeneous broadening. The main results apply to propagation in three-level media in the V configuration.

In this book, we focus on the stochastic nature of pulses to achieve a more realistic description of ultra-short optical pulses affected by noise. In order to simulate ultra-short pulses, various stochastic pulse models were applied. The effects of pulse amplitude and phase fluctuations on its propagation in various linear and non-linear media were studied based on optical coherence theory. The response of the medium atoms to the applied stochastic pulses was investigated for the particular resonant case in which the pulse frequency nearly coincides with the atom resonance frequency. Analytical and numerical propagation methods were applied to explore evolutions of ultra-short stochastic pulses in the vicinity of optical resonance.
