The self-consistent Maxwell-Bloch Eqs. containing linear detuning and nonlinear frequency shift are considered. The soliton solution is found and discussed. The new regimes of self-induced transparency are predicted.

Self-induced transparency effects, namely pulse delay and nonlinear transmission, are observed at two CO2 laser line and Stark-tuned NH3 absorber transition resonances; these are the P(32) CO2 laser line and the asQ(5, 3, 5) NH3 transition with a Stark field of 12.3 kV/cm at 10.7 μm and the R(6) CO2 laser line and the saQ(5, 5, 5) NH3 tuned with a 14.6-kV/cm field at 10.3 μm.
