Optical solitons in a few-cycle regime: Breakdown of slow-envelope approximation

The propagation of few-cycles optical pulses in a collection of two-level atoms is investigated beyond the traditional slowly varying envelope approximation. It is shown that in certain conditions, a femtosecond pulse can evolve into a stable spatiotemporal optical soliton.
