Optical kinks and kink-kink and kink-pulse interactions in resonant two-level media

An optical kink is a shock-wave-like field structure which can appear in a resonant two-level medium as a result of the nonlinear process of self-steepening. We numerically simulate this process using an adiabatically switching waveform as an input and confirm the self-similarity of resulting kinks. The analysis is also applicable to a more general waveform with a decaying trailing edge which w...

Dx and the Kink Soliton

We provide analytical functions approximating e −x 2 dx, the basis of which is the kink soliton and which are both accurate (error < 0.2%) and simple. We demonstrate our results with some applications, particularly to the generation of Gaussian random fields.

Dressing the Giant Magnon

We apply the dressing method to construct new classical string solutions describing various scattering and bound states of magnons. These solutions carry one, two or three SO(6) charges and correspond to multi-soliton configurations in the generalized sineGordon models.

The Ideal Haemostatic Dressing

Email: [email protected] Introduction The problem of haemorrhage is well recognised by the deploying military medical community. In 1970 Maughon, after examining the combat deaths of 2600 American servicemen in Vietnam, articulated the simple requirement that more be done on the battlefield to prevent death from haemorrhage: “The striking feature was to see healthy young Americans with a...
