Self-induced transparency and the Anderson localization of light

Opt Lett. 2011 Aug 1;36(15):2830-2. doi: 10.1364/OL.36.002830.

Abstract

Self-induced transparency pulses propagating in a random medium embedded in a two-level system can transfer energy to localized Anderson states. This allows the onset of two-level laserlike action.
