Contribution

It presents a novel method for vector-soliton storage and introduces the three-pulse area theorem as an extension of existing pulse area concepts.

Findings

Successful high-speed control of vector solitons

Identification of the three-pulse area as a key evolution constant

Extension of pulse area theory to three-pulse interactions

Abstract

In the present manuscript, we present a high-speed method to control, manipulate and retrieve an intense vector soliton stored in the ground state coherences of a four-level atomic system. Additionally, we show the importance of the pulse area in determining the evolution of the system and present a constant in the evolution defined as the three-pulse area, a surprising extension to previously defined pulse areas.
