EFFECTS OF ATOMIC DECAY AND DEPHASING ON THE FORMATION OF ADIABATONS IN A LAMBDA-CONFIGURATION MEDIUM

摘要

The formation of the adiabatons solutions in a Lambda-configuration atomic medium are numerically investigated in the presence of nonzero inter-level dephasing and inhomogeneous broadening. We show that stringent limits on the values of these widths are necessary for the formation of adiabatons. Details of the dynamics of the two pulses propagation are illustrated and compared for the different values of the parameters. [References: 29]
