Self-induced transparency in graphene

A theory of optical solitons under the condition of nonlinear coherent interaction of surface TM-modes with a two-dimensional layer of semiconductor quantum dots and a graphene monolayer (or graphene-like two-dimensional material) is developed. Explicit analytical expressions for a surface soliton (2π pulse) of self-induced transparency are obtained. It is shown that the optical conductivity of graphene reduces the amplitude of the surface soliton in the process of propagation.
