Due to their intuitiveness, flexibility, and relative numerical efficiency, the macroscopic
Maxwell–Bloch (MB) equations are a widely used semiclassical and semi …

Creation, erasing and ultrafast control of population density gratings using few-cycle optical
pulses coherently interacting with resonant medium is discussed. In contrast to the …

In the regime of resonant coherent light–matter interaction, light pulses may interact with
each other indirectly via a polarization wave created by the other pulse. We show that such …

Coherence in light–matter interaction is a necessary ingredient if light is used to control the
quantum state of a material system. Coherent effects are firmly associated with isolated …

This thesis sheds light on the unique dynamics of optoelectronic devices based on
semiconductor quantum-dots. The complex scattering processes involved in filling the …

We report direct observations of Rabi oscillations and self-induced transparency in a
quantum dot optical amplifier operating at room temperature. The experiments make use of …

In this paper we summarize our experimental work on the dephasing of excitons in self-
assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots, measured using a sensitive four-wave mixing …

A general theory of optical resonance solitons and breathers in the presence of single-
excitonic and biexcitonic transitions in an ensemble of inhomogeneously broadened …

Achieving a broadband nonreciprocal device without gain and any external bias is very
challenging and highly desirable for modern photonic technologies and quantum networks …

A theory of an optical vector soliton of self-induced transparency (SIT) is constructed. By
using the perturbative reduction method the equations of SIT for the small area pulse are …
