摘要：

We present an analytical solution of the coupled Maxwell-Bloch equations for the case of a laser-driven and coherently prepared medium with one upper state and N lower states. We show that under specific conditions the medium can become either completely opaque or completely transparent to the laser pulses. We also study the potential for efficient parametric generation of N-m laser pulses and show that this is possible by injecting the system with m input pulses.
