Experimental observation of chirped continuous pulse-train soliton solutions to the Maxwell-Bloch equations.
A frequency chirped continuous wave laser beam incident upon a resonant, two-level atomic absorber is seen to evolve into a Jacobi elliptic pulse-train solution to the Maxwell-Bloch equations. Experimental pulse-train envelopes are found in good agreement with numerical and analytical predictions.
