Propagation of Ultrashort Laser Pulses in an N-Level Medium

  • Chapter
Atomic and Molecular Processes with Short Intense Laser Pulses

Abstract

The coherent resonant interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with two-level system — self-induced transparency, soliton formation and pulse amplification — has been exhaustively discussed previously in the literature1-3.
