Abstract
Random optical-pulse polarization switching along an active optical medium in the configuration with spatially disordered occupation numbers of its lower energy sublevel pair is described using the idealized integrable Maxwell–Bloch model. Analytical results describing the light polarization-switching statistics for the single self-induced transparency pulse are compared with statistics obtained from direct Monte Carlo numerical simulations.
