Abstract
A theoretical study is made of the propagation of a weak ultrashort pu lse through an optically thick, inhomogeneously broadened three-level medium of the V configuration driven by a self-induced transparency pu lse on the coupled transition. The weak coherent pulse experiences a g reatly enhanced transparency. The new transparency effect is discussed in detail and the results are found to be in good agreement with rece nt experimental observations. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
