Self-induced transparency solitons in nanophotonic waveguides

This thesis explores the existence and properties of self-induced transparency (SIT) solitons in nanophotonic waveguides. SIT solitons are shape-preserving solutions of the semi-classical Maxwell-Bloch equations, a system of nonlinearly coupled differential equations. In a first investigation, colli...
