Abstract

Maxwell-Bloch system describing the resonant propagation of electromagnetic pulses in both two-level media with degeneracy in angle moment projection and three-level media with equal oscillator forces is considered. The inhomogeneous broadening of energy levels is accounted. Binary Darboux Transformation generating the solutions of the system is constructed. Pulses corresponding to the transition between levels with largest population difference are shown to be stable. The solution describing the propargation of pulses in the medium exited by the periodic wave is obtained. The hierarchy of infinitesimal symmetries is obtained by means of Darboux transformation.

Darboux transformations and coherent interaction of the light pulse with two-level media

Vladimir Borisovich Matveev, Mikhail A. Salle, Andrei V. Rybin

Applications of the Darboux transformation method to study the reduced Maxwell-Bloch (RMB) system and of the self-induced transparency (SIT) equations are considered. Both systems describe the propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in a two-level medium to a reasonable approximation. The main result of the present work is the construction of multisoliton solutions on an arbitrary background for RMB and SIT equations. Particular cases of these solutions are discussed in some detail.

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.

Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Soliton Propagations

Miki Wadati

One-dimensional pulse propagations in the electromagnetically induced media are studied. The Maxwell–Bloch equations for a three-level medium are simplified with the approximations of slowly varying amplitudes, negligible irreversible relaxations and exact resonances. An analysis is made for the case where the integrable condition is satisfied; the oscillation strengths for the two transitions are equall. Through the Bäcklund transformation, one-soliton solutions including the so-called simulton are derived.

Propagation of short pulses of polarized radiation in a resonant medium

Andrei I. Maimistov

The propagation of electromagnetic radiation pulses in a medium emulated by the two-level atoms is considered. Ground state is not degenerated, excited state is characterized by the angular moment j equals 1. The exact steady state solutions of the Maxwell - Bloch equations without slowly varying envelope and phases approximation were found, that are generalization of a known solutions by Bullough and Ahmad for the scalar case.

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.

Propagation of ultrashort pulses of polarised radiation in a resonant medium

Andrei I. Maimistov

An analysis is made of the coherent interaction of a short pulse of polarised electromagnetic radiation with a medium in which the energy levels are degenerate in respect of the angular momentum projection. In the case of the j a = 1 → j b =0 transition it is found, without recourse to the approximation of slowly varying envelopes, that the system of the Maxwell–Bloch equations has an exact solution in the form of a steady-state solitary wave of duration equal to half the period of emission as a result of the investigated atomic transition. A new solution is obtained, in addition to a simple generalisation corresponding to a polarised video pulse. When the populations of the excited states with different projections of the angular momentum are different, the spherical components of the vector representing the electric field intensity do not behave proportionately: if one of them corresponds to a unipolar spike of the electric field, the other component is a variable-sign solitary wave.
