    "abstract": "We analytically study the linear propagation of arbitrarily shaped\nlight-pulses through an absorbing medium with a narrow transparency-window or\nthrough a resonant amplifying medium. We point out that, under certain general\nconditions, the pulse acquires a nearly Gaussian shape, irrespective of its\ninitial shape and of the spectral profile of the line. We explicitly derive in\nthis case the pulse parameters, including its skewness responsible for a\ndeviation of the delay of the pulse maximum from the group delay. We illustrate\nour general results by analysing the slow-light experiments having demonstrated\nthe largest fractional pulse-delays",
