Abstract
We describe the temporal and spatial dynamics of propagating electromagnetically induced transparency pulses in an optically thick medium. Results include pulse velocities as slow as with 55% transmission, strong-probe-field effects, and the observation of near diffraction-limited transmitted beam quality.
