We develop a general method allowing one to construct the consistent theory of light pulse propagation through an atomic medium in arbitrary nonlinear regime with respect to the field strength, taking into account the light polarization,…
We investigate the dynamics of a pair of short laser pulse trains propagating in a medium consisting of three-level $\Lambda$-type atoms by numerically solving the Maxwell-Schr\"odinger equations for atoms and fields. By performing…
In this paper we study the transformation of surface envelope solitons travelling over a bottom step in water of a finite depth. Using the transformation coefficients earlier derived in the linear approximation, we find the parameters of…
We perform the analysis of the focusing nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on the half-line with time-dependent boundary conditions along the lines of the nonlinear method of images with the help of B\"acklund transformations. The difficulty…
Using the Maxwell-Bloch equations for resonantly absorbing and amplifying media, we study the temporal dynamics of light propagation through the PT-symmetric structures with alternating loss and gain layers. This approach allows us to…
We present a model describing the transmission of light through atomic media with a vanishing index of refraction. Zero index materials are of particular interest as the infinite phase velocity of light within the material offers the…
By starting with the Maxwell theory of electromagnetism, we study the change of polarization state of light transmitting through optically anisotropic media. The basic idea is to reduce the Maxwell equation to the Schroedinger like equation…
We present a first-principles derivation of the variational equations describing the dynamics of the interaction of a spatial soliton and a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) propagating along a metal/dielectric interface. The variational…
We interpret the purely spectral forward Maxwell equation with up to 3${^{\rm rd}}$ order induced polarizations for pulse propagation and interactions in quadratic nonlinear crystals. The interpreted equation, also named nonlinear wave…
In an attempt to clarify what is the velocity of a particle in doubly special relativity, we solve Maxwell's equations invariant under the position-space nonlinear Lorentz transformation proposed by Kimberly, Magueijo, and Medeiros. We show…
We analyze one-dimensional photonic superlattices which alternate layers of air and a left-handed material. We assume Drude-type dispersive responses for the dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the left-handed material.…
A recently proposed world-volume equivalence principal involving the Boillat, as opposed to the Einstein, metric is examined in the context of some colliding wave solutions of the Born-Infeld equations for which two plane polarized pulses…
We find the Lax pair for a system of reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations that describes the propagation of two-component extremely short electromagnetic pulses through the medium containing two-level quantum particles with arbitrary dipole…
This work models the propagation of an optical pulse in a 4-level atomic system in the electromagnetic induced transparency regime. By demonstrating that linear and nonlinear optical properties can be externally controlled and tailored by a…
In this paper we analyze the physical meaning of sub- and superluminal soliton-like solutions (as the X-waves) of the relativistic wave equations and of some non-trivial solutions of the free Schr\"odinger equation for which the concepts of…
Maxwell equations are solved in a layer comprising a finite number of homogeneous isotropic dielectric regions ended by anisotropic perfectly matched layers (PMLs). The boundary-value problem is solved and the dispersion relation inside the…
We develop a model for the reflection and transmission of plane waves by an isotropic layer sandwiched between two uniaxial crystals of arbitrary orientation. In the laboratory frame, reflection and transmission coefficients corresponding…
The propagation of light-pulse with negative group-velocity in a nonlinear medium is studied theoretically. We show that the necessary conditions for these effects to be observable are realized in a three-level $\Lambda$-system interacting…
The prospect of self-consistent propagation of more than two pulses contemporaneously through multi-resonant media raises open questions: whether soliton solutions exist, and whether a useful generalization of two-level pulse Area can be…
We present a Maxwell-Bloch description of the dynamics of a light pulse propagating through a spatially inhomogeneous system consisting of alternating layers of EIT media and vacuum. We study the effect of a dynamical modulation of the EIT…
