Description

A theory of optical solitons under the condition of nonlinear coherent interaction of surface TM-modes with a layer of inhomogeneously broadened semiconductor quantum dots is developed. Explicit analytical expressions for a surface soliton (2π-pulse) in the presence of single and biexciton transitions are obtained in the regime of self-induced transparency with realistic parameters which can be reached in current experiments
