Using the idealized integrable Maxwell-Bloch model, we describe random optical-pulse polarization switching along an active optical medium in the Lambda-configuration with disordered occupation numbers of its lower energy sub-level pair.…

Propagation of ultrashort optical pulses in a dense resonant medium is considered in the semiclassical limit. In our analysis, we place emphasis on several main points. First, we study transformations of spectra in the process of pulse…

We analyze the development of pulse instability within non-linear electrodynamics based on the Maxwell's equations, without the approximation of slowly varying amplitudes and phases. The action is determined on the basis of the logarithmic…

In this work, we extend and analyze the nonperturbative Maxwell-Schr\"odinger-Plasma (MASP) model. This model was proposed to describe the high order optical nonlinearities, and the low density free electron plasma generated by a laser…

The short pulse equation provides a model for the propagation of ultra-short light pulses in silica optical fibers. It is a nonlinear evolution equation. In this paper the wellposedness of bounded solutions for the homogeneous initial…

We derive a nonlinear envelope equation to describe the propagation of broadband optical pulses in second order nonlinear materials. The equation is first order in the propagation coordinate and is valid for arbitrarily wide pulse…

In this article we propose a generalization of the theory of diffusion approximation for random ODE to a nonlinear system of random Schr\"{o}dinger equations. This system arises in the study of pulse propagation in randomly birefringent…

We propose and study several inverse problems associated with the nonlinear progressive waves that arise in infrasonic inversions. The nonlinear progressive equation (NPE) is of a quasilinear form $\partial_t^2 u=\Delta f(x, u)$ with $f(x,…

Analytical solutions to the wave equation in spheroidal coordinates in the short wavelength limit are considered. The asymptotic solutions for the radial function are significantly simplified, allowing scalar spheroidal wave functions to be…

In this paper we are concerned with the plane wave method for the discretization of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations in three dimensions. As pointed out in [6], it is difficult to derive a satisfactory L2 error estimate of the standard…

The inverse scattering transform is developed to solve the Maxwell-Bloch system of equations that describes two-level systems with inhomogeneous broadening, in the case of optical pulses that do not vanish at infinity in the future. The…

Light scattering in inhomogeneous media induces wavefront distortions which pose an inherent limitation in many optical applications. Examples range from microscopy and nanosurgery to astronomy. In recent years, ongoing efforts have made…

In this work it is shown how to obtain, in a simple way, localized (non- diffractive) subluminal pulses as exact analytic solutions to the wave equations. These new ideal subluminal solutions, which propagate without distortion in any…

For an isotropic and homogeneous nonlinear left-handed materials, for which the effective medium approximation is valid, Maxwell's equations for electric and magnetic fields lead naturally, within the slowly varying envelope approximation,…

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…

An ideal contrast-enhanced ultrasound image should display microbubble-induced nonlinearities while avoiding wave propagation nonlinearities. One of the most successful ultrasound pulse sequences to disentangle these nonlinear effects…

We use a conceptually new approach to theoretical modeling of self-focusing in which we integrated diffractive and geometrical optics in order to explain and predict emission of white light and colored rings observed in ultrashort laser…

We derive coupled propagation equations for ultrashort pulses in a degenerate three-wave mixing process in quadratic media, using approximations consistent with the slowly evolving wave approximation [T. Brabec and F. Krausz, Phys. Rev.…

A new method to find the propagation equation system governing the scattering of an electromagnetic wave by a nonlinear medium is proposed. The aim is to let the effects appear spontaneously, deleting as far as possible the phenomenological…

Propagation equations for optical pulses are needed to assist in describing applications in ever more extreme situations -- including those in metamaterials with linear and nonlinear magnetic responses. Here I show how to derive a single…
