Two-Level Laser-like Emission by the Interaction of Self-Induced Transparency Solitons and Surface Anderson Localizations of Light

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that self-induced transparency pulses in a random medium can transfer energy to localized Anderson states, leading to laser-like emission, revealing a novel interaction between solitons and disorder-induced light localization.

Contribution

It introduces a new mechanism for laser-like emission through the interaction of self-induced transparency solitons with Anderson localized states in a disordered medium.

Findings

Energy transfer from solitons to localized states observed.

Laser-like emission demonstrated in a random medium.

Interaction mechanism between solitons and Anderson localization elucidated.

Abstract

Self-induced transparency pulses propagating in a random medium embedded in a two-level system can transfer energy to localized Anderson states. This allows the onset of two-level laser-like action.
