Possible thermal self-focusing of light beams influencing chemical reactions

E. P. Orlov


Abstract: It is shown that self-focusing of light beams may occur as a result of cooling of a mixture of reacting gases in the case of resonant interaction of light with atoms (or molecules) participating in chemical reactions. Estimates of the duration and degree of cooling are obtained.
