Abstract
Loss-free pulse propagation through a resonantly absorbing medium is one of the exiting phenomena of nonlinear optics. Solitons and solitary waves (SWs) are two kinds of optical pulses with the above property. Particle-like behavior is inherent to solitons which keep the shape of wave stable after collisions. This is similar to the elastic colliding of particles.
