Abstract :
Summary form only given. The possibility to render optically thick media transparent for coherent laser radiation via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) gained considerable interest over recent years. Here we study a propagation of two short laser pulses in an absorbing three-level medium under conditions of EIT. We consider two cases: the coherent population trapping (CPT) and the adiabatic population transfer (APT).
