Abstract
The propagation and reshaping of low intensity, Oπ pulses, is observed and compared with theory, in experiments using 60 fs pulses. The bandwidth of such pulses is much greater than the width of the atomic absorption lines and we can therefore use the extreme sharp line limit (SLL) in the theoretical interpretation of the experiments. The experiments were performed for both resonant exitation and for detunings of he pulse central frequency from the 852 nm Cs atomic resonance frequency. The theory of short pulse propagation [1] is extended to include the off-resonant case.
