Abstract
Structuring of matter with nanoobjects allows one to generate soliton-like light bundles with extreme characteristics-temporal duration and spatial dimensions. On the other hand, structuring of light gives the possibility to form light bundles with complicated internal structure; their topology could be used for information coding similar to that in self-replicating RNA molecules carrying genetic code. Here we review the both variants of structuring. In the first variant, we consider a linear molecular chain and organic film interacting resonantly with laser radiation. Demonstrated are optical bistability, switching waves, and dissipative solitons, whose sizes for molecular J-aggregates can reach the nanometer range. We also discuss some theoretical approaches to take into account multi-particle interaction and correlations between molecules. In the second variant, light structuring in large-size laser medium with saturable amplification and absorption is achieved by preparation of the initial field distribution with a number of closed and unclosed vortex lines where the field vanishes. Various types of topological solitons, parameter domains of their stability, and transformation of the solitons with slow variation of the scheme parameters are presented.

Abstract
We conduct a theoretical study of the bistable optical response of a nanoparticle heterodimer comprised of a closely spaced semiconductor quantum dot and a metal nanoparticle. The bistable nature of the response results from the interplay between the quantum dot's optical nonlinearity and its self-action (feedback) originating from the presence of the metal nanoparticle. The feedback is governed by a complex valued coupling parameter G = G(R) + iG(I). We calculate the bistability phase diagram within the system's parameter space: spanned by G(R), G(I), and Δ, the latter being the detuning between the driving frequency and the transition frequency of the quantum dot. Additionally, switching times from the lower stable branch to the upper one (and vice versa) are calculated as a function of the intensity of the driving field. The conditions for bistability to occur can be realized, for example, for a heterodimer comprised of a closely spaced CdSe (or CdSe/ZnSe) quantum dot and a gold nanosphere.

Abstract
We have considered a coherent population transfer to a higher excited singlet state (S2) of
molecules with anomalous fluorescence in molecular assemblies (e.g., a dense medium). A direct
excitation to S2 requires light in the UV region. Because of this, the transition is conveniently realized by a two-step (two-photon) process: S0→S1→S2, where transitions S0→S1 and S1→S2 correspond to the optical region. We have shown that efficient stimulated Raman adiabatic passage
(STIRAP) in the ladder configuration can be realized in this case, using suitably chirped pulses, to
compensate a change of the two-photon transition frequency in time, induced by the pulses themselves, due to near dipole-dipole interactions. We have provided a reduced state formulation of the
optical control process. Chirping the “pump” pulse that excites transition S0→S1 is nonequivalent to chirping the “Stokes” pulse that excites transition S1→S2, with respect to the population of the intermediate state (S1) in the pulse nonadiabatic regime. We have also shown that with suitably chirped pulses, efficient STIRAP still persists even for a rather large decay of the intermediate state.

Abstract
The exciton dynamics of model aggregate systems, dimer, trimer, and pentamer, composed of two-state monomers is computationally investigated in the presence of three types of quantized optical fields, i.e., coherent, amplitude-squeezed, and phase-squeezed fields, in comparison with the case of classical laser fields. The constituent monomers are assumed to interact with each other by the dipole-dipole interaction, and the two-exciton model, which takes into account both the one- and two-exciton generations, is employed. As shown in previous studies, near-degenerate exciton states in the presence of a (near) resonant classical laser field create quantum superposition states and thus cause the spatial exciton recurrence motion after cutting the applied field. In contrast, continuously applied quantized optical fields turn out to induce similar exciton recurrence motions in the quiescent region between the collapse and revival behaviors of Rabi oscillation. The spatial features of exciton recurrence motions are shown to depend on the architecture of aggregates. It is also found that the coherent and amplitude-squeezed fields tend to induce longer-term exciton recurrence behavior than the phase-squeezed field. These features have a possibility for opening up a novel creation and control scheme of exciton recurrence motions in aggregate systems under the quantized optical fields.
