Unipolar and subcycle extremely short pulses: recent results and prospects (brief review)

RM Arkhipov, MV Arkhipov, AV Pakhomov… - JETP Letters, 2023 - Springer
In recent years, progress has been made in obtaining extremely short electromagnetic
pulses up to single-cycle and unipolar half-cycle pulses. For pulses with such a dependence …

Selective ultrafast control of multi-level quantum systems by subcycle and unipolar pulses

R Arkhipov, A Pakhomov, M Arkhipov, A Demircan… - Optics …, 2020 - opg.optica.org
The most typical way to optically control population of atomic and molecular systems is to
illuminate them with radiation, resonant to the relevant transitions. Here we consider a …

Population difference gratings created on vibrational transitions by nonoverlapping subcycle THz pulses

R Arkhipov, A Pakhomov, M Arkhipov, I Babushkin… - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
We study theoretically a possibility of creation and ultrafast control (erasing, spatial
frequency multiplication) of population density gratings in a multi-level resonant medium …

Electromagnetically induced gratings created by few-cycle light pulses (brief review)

RM Arkhipov - JETP Letters, 2021 - Springer
Electromagnetically induced gratings (EMIGs) of atomic populations are formed in the
resonant media at the interference of two or more overlapping monochromatic beams. They …

RM Arkhipov, MV Arkhipov, AA Shimko, AV Pakhomov… - JETP Letters, 2019 - Springer
Our recent studies of methods for obtaining ultrashort light pulses and analysis of the impact
of ultrashort optical pulses on classical and quantum micro-objects with the identification of …

Self-stopping of light

M Arkhipov, R Arkhipov, I Babushkin, N Rosanov - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Here, we show that light can bring itself to a complete standstill (self-stop) via self-interaction
mediated by the resonant nonlinearity in a fully homogeneous medium. An intense few-cycle …

Single-cycle-pulse generation in a coherently mode-locked laser with an ultrashort cavity

R Arkhipov, M Arkhipov, A Pakhomov, I Babushkin… - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We theoretically investigate the possibility of a passive mode-locking regime in a two-section
laser with an ultrashort cavity of the length around ten wavelengths of the medium resonant …

On the possibility of holographic recording in the absence of coherence between a reference beam and a beam scattered by an object

RM Arkhipov, MV Arkhipov, NN Rosanov - JETP Letters, 2020 - Springer
For the holographic recording of the wave field of an object, a pattern created by the
interference of the reference wave and the wave scattered by the object is used. Traditional …

Light-induced dynamic microcavities created in a resonant medium by collision of non-harmonic rectangular 1-fs light pulses

OO Diachkova, RM Arkhipov, MV Arkhipov… - Optics …, 2023 - Elsevier
Recently, interest in extremely short unipolar electromagnetic pulses with non-harmonic
