A light pulse propagating in a suddenly switched on photonic lattice, whenthe central frequency lies in the photonic band gap, is an analog of the Rabimodel where the two-level system is the two resonant (i.e. Bragg-coupled)Fourier modes of the pulse, while the photonic lattice serves as amonochromatic external field. A simple theory of these Rabi oscillations isgiven and confirmed by the numerical solution of the corresponding Maxwellequations. This is a direct, i.e. temporal, analog of the Rabi effect,additionally to the spatial analog in optical beam propagation described inOpt. Lett. 32, 1920 (2007). An additional high-frequency modulation of the Rabioscillations reflects the lattice-induced energy transfer between the electricand magnetic fields of the pulse.
