Coherent Amplification of Optical Pulses in Metamaterials

Abstract

In this paper we theoretically study propagation of steady state ultrashort pulse in dissipative medium. We considered two cases (i) medium consists of lossy metallic nanostructures embedded into a gain material and (ii) the gain material is embedded directly into the nanostructures. We found the shape and velocity of an optical pulse coupled with the polarization wave.
