title: Solitons for the rotating reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations with anisotropy.
abstract: For the reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations with two components of polarization and with an anisotropic dipole moment we establish a hierarchy of soliton solutions by use of Bäcklund transformations. The -soliton formulas are given in terms of Vandermonde-like determinants. Differences in the respective solution manifolds for the so-called self-induced transparency (SIT) equations and three types of reduced Maxwell-Bloch equations are pointed out.
