Polariton effect in nonlinear pulse propagation

The joint influence of the polariton effect and Kerr-like nonlinearity on propagation of optical pulses is studied. The existence of different families of envelope solitary wave solutions in the vicinity of polariton gap is shown. The properties of solutions depend strongly on the carrier wave frequ...

Summary:The joint influence of the polariton effect and Kerr-like nonlinearity on propagation of optical pulses is studied. The existence of different families of envelope solitary wave solutions in the vicinity of polariton gap is shown. The properties of solutions depend strongly on the carrier wave frequency. In particular, solitary waves inside and outside of the polariton gap exhibit different velocity and amplitude dependencies on their duration.
