We develop the theory of interaction of coherent light pulses with thin-film planar Fabry-Perot resonator structures filled with media containing resonant atoms. Anomalous propagation effects have been detected for ultrashort pulses. We prove the McCall-Hahn {open_quotes}areas theorem,{close_quotes} which plays the role of one of the integrals of the motion of the system. The occurrence of bistable and soliton solutions is discussed. 28 refs., 2 figs.
