COMPRESSION OF FEW-CYCLE OPTICAL PULSES AND UNIPOLAR PULSE GENERATION DUE TO COHERENT INTERACTION WITH NONLINEAR RESONANT MEDIUM

We study theoretically the possibility of few-cycle short bipolar optical pulse compression and their transformation to unipolar pulses due to coherent interaction with resonance absorbing medium. It is shown that single-cycle pulse compression occurs when each half-wave starts to behave as an inde...
