Abstract
We investigate the propagation dynamics of nonlinear chirped optical laser
pulses in a two-level medium. For certain chirp strength and chirp width, an
incident 2π nonlinear chirped pulse will split into optical precursors and a stable
self-induced transparency soliton. This is caused by the particular Fourier spectrum
that includes not only central resonant frequency components but also high-frequency
and low-frequency sidebands. Moreover, the effects of chirp parameters on the
evolution of nonlinear chirped pulses are also discussed.
