A concentration mechanism is predominant in the self-focusing of light near the stratification point of liquid solutions. The threshold for the time-varying effect is inversely proportional to the kinetic mobility and is reached at moderate energy densities. Calculations are carried out for the optically induced shift of the critical temperature (a concentration self-induced transparency).
