Abstract
Numerical methods are used to investigate the characteristics of soliton formation when optical pulses of arbitrary shape and duration propagate in resonantly absorbing media of large optical thickness. It is shown that a regime of soliton propagation in a resonant medium, characterized by a nonlinear Schrodinger equation model, changes to a self-induced transparency regime. Incoherent steady-state interaction conditions are then replaced by coherent interaction. This effect can be utilized to compress laser pulses.
