Abstract

A theory of the optical soliton of self-induced transparency (SIT) in a black phosphorus monolayer (phosphorene) has been developed. Explicit analytical expressions describing the surface soliton in phosphorene and other anisotropic two-dimensional materials are obtained. It is shown that the anisotropic phosphorene conductivity leads to exponential damping of the amplitude of the soliton of the surface wave, which strongly depends on the direction of pulse propagation. The maximum damping of the SIT soliton amplitude takes place in the “armchair” direction of phosphorene.
