Interaction of N solitons in the massive Thirring model and optical gap system: the Complex Toda Chain Model
Using the Karpman-Solov''ev quasiparticle approach for soliton-soliton
interaction I show that the train propagation of N well separated solitons of
the massive Thirring model is described by the complex Toda chain with N nodes.
For the optical gap system a generalised (non-integrable) complex Toda chain is
derived for description of the train propagation of well separated gap
solitons. These results are in favor of the recently proposed conjecture of
universality of the complex Toda chain.Comment: RevTex, 23 pages, no figures. Submitted to Physical Review

Signal velocity and group velocity for an optical pulse propagating through a GaAs cavity
We present measurements of the signal and group velocities for chirped optical pulses propagating through a GaAs cavity. The signal velocity is based on a specified signal-to-noise ratio at the detector. Under our experimental conditions, the chirp substantially modifies the group velocity of the pulse, but leaves the signal velocity unaltered. At unity transmittance, the velocities are equal. In general, when the transmittance is less than unity, the group velocity is faster than the signal velocity. While the group velocity can be negative, the signal velocity is always less than c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of GaAs. To our knowledge, this is the first measurement of both the group velocity and the signal velocity in any system
New propagation effects in semiconductors in the UV range: Inhibition of absorption, negative refraction, anomalous momentum states, sub-wavelength imaging, and non-plamonic nanometer-size guided waves
We discuss new propagation effects in semiconductors at frequencies above the absorption including inhibition of linear absorption using phase-locked harmonic pulses, negative refraction, anomalous
momentum states, sub-wavelength imaging and ultrathin, nanometer-size guiding channels.Peer Reviewe
