Abstract
This study predicts the manifestation of anisotropic properties in linearly isotropic inhomogeneous resonant media during the propagation of optical pulses through them with pulse durations comparable to the phase memory of the medium. For examples, the energy of an obliquely incident pulse propagating through a layered inhomogeneous medium, varies with inversion of the propagation direction. This effect results from phase modulation of the pulse duse to variation in refraction in a region of transient coherent processes in the medium. This study analyzes the most favorable conditions for observing anisotropic effects.
