Non-linear oscillators and solitons of maxwell—Bloch equations

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The Maxwell-Bloch equations of non-linear optics are represented as a continuous chain of C. Neumann oscillators onS 3. This representation enables us to find explicitely one-soliton solutions of the Maxwell-Bloch equations. These solutions form a two-parameter family and they correspond to the homoclinic orbits of the magnetic spherical pendula on the two-sphere.
