Nonlinear pulse propagation near a two-photon resonance.

The propagation of light pulses whose spectra are in the vicinity of a material two-photon resonance is studied. We derive the appropriate form for the nonlinear polarization. In the limit of fast material response (as compared to the pulse duration) we obtain a wave equation that includes a new ter...
