Chaotic Phenomenon in Nonlinear Gyrotropic Medium
Nonlinear gyrotropic medium is a medium, whose natural optical activity
depends on the intensity of the incident light wave. The Kuhn's model is used
to study nonlinear gyrotropic medium with great success. The Kuhn's model
presents itself a model of nonlinear coupled oscillators. This article is
devoted to the study of the Kuhn's nonlinear model. In the first paragraph of
the paper we study classical dynamics in case of weak as well as strong
nonlinearity. In case of week nonlinearity we have obtained the analytical
solutions, which are in good agreement with the numerical solutions. In case of
strong nonlinearity we have determined the values of those parameters for which
chaos is formed in the system under study. The second paragraph of the paper
refers to the question of the Kuhn's model integrability. It is shown, that at
the certain values of the interaction potential this model is exactly
integrable and under certain conditions it is reduced to so-called universal
Hamiltonian. The third paragraph of the paper is devoted to quantum-mechanical
consideration. It shows the possibility of stochastic absorption of external
field energy by nonlinear gyrotropic medium. The last forth paragraph of the
paper is devoted to generalization of the Kuhn's model for infinite chain of
interacting oscillators
