Joint Effect of the Dipole–Dipole Interaction and Constant Dipole Moment on the Shape of the Field Pulse without an Envelope

Abstract

Abstract An integrable model is proposed for a two-level medium with a constant dipole moment, which describes the evolution of electromagnetic field pulses without an envelope with account for the dipole–dipole interaction. In the nearest neighbor approximation, this interaction is taken into account in the form of quadratic dispersion. It is found that such a generalization of the reduced Maxwell–Bloch equations preserves the complete integrability. It is shown using the obtained exact soliton solutions as examples that the joint effect of quadratic dispersion and the constant dipole moment has a number of unique features and provides new opportunities for controlling the shape of field pulses. In particular, it is found that the shape and amplitude of a field pulse depend on the signs of the dipole–dipole interaction as well as on the sign of the constant dipole moment.

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

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

We find a general integrable system of reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations describing the interaction of a two-component electromagnetic field with the dipole transition of a two-level medium. The anisotropy of the anisotropic dipole momentum of the transition as a permanent dipole momentum is taken into account. A solution of the model is found for a particular case by using the inverse scattering transform. The method is based on a solution of the Riemann-Hilbert problem taking into account the symmetry properties of the corresponding fundamental solutions.

Specific features of amplification of almost ultimately short pulses in media with a permanent dipole moment

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

Amplification of electromagnetic field pulses approximately one cycle in duration in multilevel media with an effective permanent dipole moment is studied theoretically without application of the approximation of slowly varying envelopes for the case of unidirectional propagation of the radiation. For three-level and quasi-two-level media, it is shown that the set of Maxwell-Schrödinger equations can be reduced to an integrable set of equations for an effective two-level medium. The presence of an (effective) permanent dipole moment of the medium was found to lead to new specific features of the amplification and control of the dynamics of field pulses.

Envelope-Free Solitons in a Two-Level Medium Implanted into an Anisotropic Matrix

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

Abstract A model of evolution of field pulses in a medium of two-level atoms implanted into an anisotropic matrix is considered. It is shown that the system of reduced Maxwell–Bloch equations in the approximation of unidirectional propagation can be completely integrable. For a particular case of the model, soliton solutions describing the field pulse evolution are obtained. It is shown that by changing the anisotropy parameters of the external medium, pulse parameters can be controlled.

Solitons in a Chiral Medium

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

Abstract The dynamics of a field in a thin waveguide surrounded by helically arranged two-level atoms is studied. The interaction of the induced polarizations of atoms with the field propagating inside the waveguide is described by a system of reduced Maxwell–Bloch equations (RMBEs) in the approximation of unidirectional propagation of the field. Nonlocal dipole–dipole interaction (DDI) of the polarizations of atoms in the helix is described in the approximation of the interaction of nearest neighbors in a curvilinear medium. Soliton solutions of an integrable reduction of the system of equations describing the asymmetric propagation of field pulses in the waveguide in the forward and backward directions are found by the method of Riemann problem with zeros. It is shown that, depending on the chirality sign or the propagation direction, a field pulse in the waveguide can have either the shape of a sharp peak or a nearly rectangular shape. Solutions describing the evolution of field pulses on a nonzero pedestal show that the shape and amplitude of the field pulses can be controlled by the external pumping parameters.

Ultrashort pulses of an electromagnetic field in a planar waveguide array with two-level systems

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

A planar homogeneous waveguide array with two-level systems has been considered. The evolution of an electromagnetic field is described by the Maxwell-Bloch equations taking into account the action of the fields of neighboring waveguides beyond the slow-envelope approximation. It has been shown that the model in the continuous approximation is reduced to an integrable system of equations, including the case of a nonzero static dipole moment. The model can be used to analyze the nonlinear mechanism of the compression of pulses and the conditions of overcoming of the diffraction limit.

Unidirectional two-component optical pulse propagation in an isotropic two-level medium with permanent dipole moment

Alexander A. Zabolotskii

The inverse scattering method is used to find the solution in the isotropic limit of the general integrable model of a two-component electromagnetic field interacting with a two-level system. The model describes electromagnetic pulse propagation without invoking the slowly varying envelope approximation and takes into account effects due to a permanent dipole moment.
