Morphology

undampened = dampened (transparent) = un + dampen + ed

The negation 'un-' applied to 'dampened' directly yields the 'not reduced (in amplitude)' sense; formation is predictable though the sense is somewhat technical.

Etymology

Undampened is built from un- 'not' and dampen, where dampen can mean 'make less strong' (as with movement or sound). So an undampened vibration or signal is one that is 'not reduced' and keeps its full force.
