摘要
We present a stability analysis of a modified nonlinear Schrodinger equation describing the propagation of ultrashort pulses in negative refractive index media. Moreover, using methods of quantum statistics, we derive a kinetic equation for the pulses, making it possible to analyze and describe partial coherence in metamaterials. It is shown that a unique short pulse soliton, which is found analytically, can propagate in the medium.
