A coherent atomic medium is proposed for manipulating the absorption, dispersion, transmission and reflection of an optical soliton via two strong coherent control field's Rabi oscillations, detunings and incident angles. Significant anomalous dispersion regions and a negative group index are investigated. A group index of n g =−1500 and a negative group velocity of v g =−2.0×10 5 ms −1 is calculated. This leads to superluminal propagation (v g >c) in the anomalous dispersion region. A significant cancellation of linear and nonlinear effects results a bright optical soliton in the coherent atomic medium. Similarly the shape-preserving phenomenon of the bright optical solitons is investigated by launching the input pulse at different incident angles. As a result, the intensity distribution of the optical solitons has no fluctuation in time t/τ 0 with any values of y/ω 0 and shows a significant bright form of solitary waves. These solitons show remarkable applications in optics, particularly in soliton radar technology for medical purposes, controlling the intensity of bright solitons for the modification of optical information processing, high-speed optical switching and quantum communication.
