Abstract:
A description is given of a new experimental method for the suppression of strong and scalar (polarized) types of stimulated scattering of light and the excitation of tensor (depolarized) types. This method is based on elongation of the nonlinear interaction region in the direction of the electric vector of the exciting wave. The results are given of experiments in which the new method was used to study the temperature dependence of the shift of the stimulated scattering in the wing of the Rayleigh line when the stimulated Brillouin scattering was suppressed. Simple formulas are given for the design of such experiments. The advantages and capabilities of the proposed method are discussed.
