Abstract

Propagation of the extremely short electromagnetic pulse in non-linear dielectric media without the slowly varying envelope approximation is discussed. The models under consideration take into account both resonant and not-resonant excitations of non-linear medium, and polarization states of electromagnetic wave. Steady state solutions of the relevant equations are presented for some of these models.
