Propagation of a weak ultrashort pulse through an optically thick inhomogeneously broadened three-level medium of V-configuration driven by a self-induced transparency pulse on the coupled transition is investigated theoretically. The weak coherent pulse experiences a greatly enhanced transparency. The new transparency effect is discussed in details and the results are in a good agreement with recent experimental observations.
