Increase in the compression factor in stimulated-Brillouin-scattering compression of nonmonochromatic light pulses
Gulidov S. S., Mak A. A., Papernyi S. B.
An increase in the compression factor, i.e., in the ratio of the length of the pump pulse to that of the Stokes pulse, Η = Tp /Ts, has been observed during stimulated-Brillouin-scattering compression of nonmonochromatic laser light. An interpretation of the effect is offered. The value of Η can reach values Hmax = 60-100 at the "optimum" spectral width of the pump pulse.
