We present a theoretical study of the propagation of three-dimensional extremely short electromagnetic pulses (a.k.a. light bullets) through a Bragg medium containing an immersed array of carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate the possible stable propagation of such light bullets. In particular, our results suggest these light bullets can carry information about the Bragg medium itself.

We have considered the problem of dynamic propagation of the three-dimensional few-cycle optical pulses of Gaussian and super-Gaussian cross-section inside the Bragg medium with carbon nanotubes. The system has dissipation and additional energy “pumping”. We have shown that the pulse propagation is stable inside the considered environment. The special aspect of the pulse evolution of different cross-sections has been determined.

In this paper, we consider the influence of magnetic pump field on the propagation of three-dimensional ultrashort optical pulse with Airy cross-section in a medium of a photonic crystal made of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It is shown, that the pulse remains localized in a limited region of space and propagates quasi-stable. The possibility of efficient generation of high harmonics under the influence of an external magnetic field that were initially absent is observed.

We consider the task about few-circle optical pulses dynamics (light bullet) with Bessel profile in the environment with spatial modulate refractive index with carbon nanotubes. We show that light bullets propagate stably. Electromagnetic field of pulse describes classically, on basis of Maxwell equation, and carbon nanotubes give dispersion law for electrons, which interacting with pulse. We show that light bullets propagate stably.
