Experimental Observation of the Continuous Pulse-Train Soliton Solution to the Maxwell-Bloch Equations
John L. Shultz, Gregory J. Salamo
We report the first experimental observation of the evolution of an arbitrarily shaped input optical pulse train to the analytic, shape-preserving, Jacobi elliptic pulse-train solutions to the Maxwell-Bloch equations including relaxation.
