Abstract
A theoretical analysis of the propagation of transform-limited short pulses in the medium of oscillators (Lorentz model) is presented. In particular, a temporal-modes expansion of the propagating field is introduced for the nonresonance and the resonance cases. It is shown that the medium dispersion causes severe distortions in the pulse shape. The proper choice of medium parameters and/or spectral filtering of the different temporal modes may allow the formation of arbitrary pulse shapes. >
