Abstract
We investigate a femtosecond pulse propagation in a medium, containing nanorods, with taking into account the dependence of multi-photon absorption from the aspect ratio of nanorods. Nanorods melting due to the laser energy absorption leads to the non-stationary interaction of laser pulse with the medium and time-dependent nanorod aspect ratio changing. Under certain conditions, we found out the soliton-like mode of a laser pulse propagation and the superluminality effect: acceleration of light (fast light) in comparison with light propagation in a linear medium. We discuss a physical mechanism of superluminality effect for considering laser pulse propagation. Using spatio-temporal analogy, one can see the similarity between the pulse centre evolution along longitudinal coordinate and the beam centre evolution under the infrared optical radiation propagation in a cloud, or fog, which moves across the beam, with taking into account its thermal blooming.
