We find the Lax pair for a system of reduced Maxwell–Bloch equations that describes the propagation of twocomponent extremely short electromagnetic pulses through the medium containing two-level quantum particles with arbitrary dipole moments.

Breather-like pulses in a medium with the permanent dipole moment

N. V. Ustinov

The solutions of the reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations for an anisotropic two-level medium, which describe the propagation of electromagnetic pulses having a duration from a few field oscillations, are studied. An influence of the permanent dipole moment of the quantum transition on dynamics of the pulses and their spectrum is considered.

Comment on 'Evolution of the unidirectional electromagnetic pulses in an anisotropic two-level medium'

N. V. Ustinov

Recently, Zabolotskii [Phys. Rev. E 77, 036603 (2008)] presented the Lax pair for a version of the reduced Maxwell--Bloch equations. This version was derived under considering the unidirectional propagation of a two-component electromagnetic pulse through an anisotropic two-level medium. We demonstrate that his derivation contains essential omission, which led to the wrong version of the reduced Maxwell--Bloch equations. We also point out that the Lax pair for correct version of these equations had been known in the most general anisotropic case.

Optical solitary waves in three-level media: effects of different dipole moments

A. S. Rosenthal, Talal Ghannam

The exact electric polarization operator of the Maxwell-Bloch equations for a three-level Λ-type system is derived without assuming equality of the transition dipole moments. Numerical solution of the resulting solitary wave equations yields a richer spectrum than found earlier for identical dipole moments [Hioe and Grobe, Phys. Rev. Lett.73, 2559 (1994)]. The two components of the new solitary waves each have a zero-pulse area and take the form of modulated oscillations.

Solitons of nontruncated Maxwell-Bloch equations

Anatoli V. Andreev, V. V. Berendakov

The results of the theoretical study and computer simulations on the ultrashort pulse propagation in a medium of the two-level atoms are discussed. We find the solution of the nontruncated Maxwell-Bloch equations corresponding to the selfsimilar pulse propagation. It is shown that these pulses are solitons. We discuss the dependency of the solitary pulse parameters on the incident pulse amplitude, frequency and temporal width.
