Stimulated Mandel'shtam-Brillouin scattering excited by radiation with a broad spectrum
Popovichev V.I., Ragul'skii V.V., Faizullov F.S.
It is established experimentally that the efficiency of the stimulated scattering does not depend on the width of the exciting-radiation spectrum if the interaction length is shorter than the coherence length of this radiation. The spectral and angular characteristics of the scattered light are investigated in the case of broad-band pumping.
