Optical Solitons In A Three-State Medium, Talal Ghannam
Masters Theses
When a beam of light propagates within a typical medium, absorption is a common phenomenon. This happens when the frequency of the light is close to a resonant frequency of the atoms composing the medium. But in the past few decades, it has been shown that in certain circumstances, carefully chosen pulse shapes are able to propagate without significant absorption even when the frequency of the light is close to an atomic resonant frequency. It was called Self Induced Transparency (SIT).
This phenomenon was intensively studied in the two-state systems. On the other hand, the three-state systems seems not to …
