Abstract

Using a microscopic approach and the Maxwell equations, it is shown that extremely short optical pulses (soliton analogs) exist in superlattices with parabolic minibands. Mechanisms responsible for changes in the shape of extremely short optical pulses are considered. It is established that the parameters of these electromagnetic solitons depend on the temperature.
