Abstract

The development of high-intensity ultrashort optical pulses has lead to a number of fascinating nonlinear optical propagation studies including Rabi flopping,1 self-induced transparency,2 and photon echo, to name but a few. Common to the description of these effects, is that their propagation phenomena can be described quite adequately by employing the appropriate coupled matter-Maxwell equations within the slowly-varying-envelope approximation (SVEA), i.e., the envelopes of the electromagnetic field and polarization are assumed to vary little over an optical period and wavelength. However, for several-cycle optical pulses this approximation becomes seriously questionable.
