Abstract

A theory of quasi-resonance for the model of atoms with an arbitrary number of levels is developed by the method of unitary transformation without recourse to Bloch’s equations. Corrections to the results known from the theory of adiabatic following, which refine these results and take into account dispersion of the nonlinear response of the resonant system, are obtained. The condition for quasi-resonance with a single atomic transition is shown to impose stringent limitations on the form of the nonlinear evolution equation for the electric field envelope of the pulse with dispersion of the nonlinear response taken into account, which prohibit the reduction of the equation indicated to familiar, fully integrable systems.
