In this paper, a theory of the resonant interaction between an ultrashort coherent light pulse and a semiconductor was given, which occurs when the pulse duration is less than the polarization or phase memory relaxation time.Abstract:
A theory is given of the resonant interaction between an ultrashort coherent light pulse and a semiconductor, which occurs when the pulse duration is less than the polarization or phase memory relaxation time. It is shown that, under certain conditions, a stationary 2? pulse can form. Numerical estimates of the velocity of propagation of a stable pulse are obtained for a typical semiconductor.read more

Self-induced transparency effect
TL;DR: In this paper, a review is given of the current status of the self-induced transparency effect and its generalization to the case of phase modulation of radiation pulses, degeneracy of transitions, and two-photon resonance is discussed.

Self-induced transparency of excitons
A. Schenzle,Hermann Haken +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the coupled nonlinear Heisenberg-equations for excitons interacting with photons are solved and bound exciton-photon states occur which travel as an undistorted pulse through the lattice in anology to selftransparency in atomic systems.

Saturation and recovery of the direct interband absorption in semiconductors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a probe pulse with variable delay with respect to the strong bleaching pulse to study the time dependence of the recovery of the absorption following bleaching and find it to be as short as 30 psec.

Coherent effects in the propagation of ultrashort light pulses in resonant media. Part II (Review)
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of coherent effects in the interaction of ultrashort light pulses with media characterized by degenerate transitions, including semiconducting media (in the direct band-band transition region), and with media exhibiting two-photon resonances, is presented.

Propagation of high-power light pulses through semiconductors under interband interaction conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical investigation of the propagation of a high-power light pulse in a semiconductor under interband absorption conditions was made and a self-consistent system of equations was obtained for the field and the medium allowing for nonequilibrium particle relaxation processes.
