Scattering of a Gaussian wave packet by a reflectionless potential

Abstract: The specific features of scattering of the Gaussian wave packet by the simplest of all reflectionless potentials, the Sech-squared well, are considered. The results of numerical computation show that a wave packet that has passed through this potential overtakes a free wave packet and is both higher and narrower than a free wave packet; in other words, the scattered wave packet accelerates inside the well and preserves its shape better. Comparisons with scattering by the square well and by a series of reflecti… Show more

“…We remark thatH ↑,↓ describes essentially a free particle in the Pöschl-Teller potential, which is known to be reflectionless for certain parameters. In the reflectionless case however, a transmitted wave still acquires a phase which has consequences on a wave packet passing such a potential: it narrows and is ahead in time as compared to a freely moving wave-packet 26 . For optical systems, these potentials have been realized recently using arrays of evanescently coupled waveguides 27 .…”
