    "abstract": "We present a self-consistent theory, as well as an illustrative application\nto a realistic system, of phase control of photoabsorption in an optically\ndense medium. We demonstrate that, when propagation effects are taken into\nconsideration, the impact on phase control is significant. Independently of the\nvalue of the initial phase difference between the two fields, over a short\nscaled distance of propagation, the medium tends to settle the relative phase\nso that it cancels the atomic excitation. In addition, we find some rather\nunusual behavior for an optically thin layer.",
