The adiabatic conditions imply adiabatic propagation of signal pulse in medium such that the bandwidth of the input pulse is smaller than the transparency window, and also account for turning on and off of coupling/pumping fields corresponding to adiabatic rotation θ [defined in Eq. 18], usually satisfied in real situations. Also, see M. G. Payne, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.66.043802 66, 043802 (2002), where dependence of adiabatic criterion upon pulse propagation effects, as well as on the signal frequency detuning, are discussed in detail.
