Good Agreement

Abstract The spatial and temporal development of self-focusing of light pulses is investigated. The beam diameter in CS2 and molten para-di-chlorobenzene decreases with increasing incident laser power to small values in good agreement with theory. The strong influence of beam divergence, non-linearity of refractive index, and absorption on self-focusing action is found to agree well with numerical calculations. It is shown that both backward stimulated Brillouin and Raman scattering terminate the self-focusing process.

Input Wave

We have studied, for various states of polarization for the input beam, the properties of the backward-going wave generated by stimulated light scattering when 25-ps-long laser pulses are focused into CS 2. For the case of a circularly polarized input wave, the backward-going wave is generated by stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering (SRWS). However, for the case of a linearly polarized input beam, strong filamentation occurs and the backward-going wave appears to be generated by stimulated librational scattering (SLS).
