On the assumption that the Rabi frequency is small in comparison with the frequency detuning, equations are derived describing the variation of the envelope of an ultrashort pulse propagating under conditions of two-photon quasi-resonance. In a weakly dispersive medium containing such resonance atoms, the pulse broadening can be suppressed depending on the pulse energy. At higher energy, the regime of self-compression (collapse) of the optical pulse arises. 15 refs.
