Self-induced transparency solitons in a nonlinear Kerr host

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

We have found a steady-state solution for a pulse propagating in imhogeneously broadened resonant two-level atoms embedded in a dispersive and nonlinear Kerr lossless host medium. The pulse is of an unchirped hyperbolic-secant form with a linear spatial phase delay. There are several salient features in this solution which are different from the results obtained previously. First, for the given parameters of the medium and carrier frequency, the group velocity, the amplitude, and the pulse width are uniquely determined. Second, the group velocity is independent of the density of the resonant atoms. Third, the solution exists in the positive dispersion region, which is different from solitons in fibers.
