We report preliminary results of direct measurements of one of the main characteristics of a scattering medium (the attenuation coefficient) interacting with an ultrashort pulse of optical radiation. Experiment revealed a decrease in the attenuation of an ultrashort pulse compared with the case of continuous illuniination.
