Effect of relaxation on self-induced transparency

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We derive an equation of motion of the Bloch-vector tipping angle and the area theorem in the presence of relaxation. We derive relaxation-dependent shifts in the equilibrium nπ areas. Part of these shifts depends on a weighted time integral of the sine of the area, and hence these shifts remove the propagation degeneracy of pulses having equal areas but different shapes.
