Spatiotemporally localized solitons in resonantly absorbing Bragg reflectors
We predict the existence of spatiotemporal solitons (``light bullets'') in
two-dimensional self-induced transparency media embedded in a Bragg grating.
The "bullets" are found in an approximate analytical form, their stability
being confirmed by direct simulations. These findings suggest new possibilities
for signal transmission control and self-trapping of light.Comment: RevTex, 3 pages, 2 figures, to be published in PR
