Solitons and decoherence in left-handed metamaterials
arXiv:cond-mat/0503648 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2005.04.068
Abstract
We present exact electromagnetic solitary pulses that can be experimentally obtained within nonlinear left-handed metamaterials. The effect of pulse decoherence on the modulation instability of partially incoherent electromagnetic waves is also investigated. The results may contribute to a better understanding of nonlinear electromagnetic pulse propagation in media with negative index of refraction.
