We present the coherent control of the temporal shape of laser pulses obtained by exploiting the propagation dynamics of electromagnetically induced transparency. Temporal compression, as a special case of pulse tailoring, is discussed. We envisage applications in nonlinear optics processes and control of pulse shapes in the vacuum ultraviolet spectral region.
