The phase and group velocities of the pulsed light are suitably defined and calculated. So are the duration of both pulses, probe and coupling, and their energies as a function of the travelled distance. The time evolution, for a given distance, of the dressed atom state is described by the Liouville-von Neumann equation for the density matrix.
