Abstract

Spatial, temporal, and spectral characteristics of stimulated light scattering (SS) in water were investigated in both nano- and picosecond ranges under different experimental conditions and compared with the analogous characteristics of stimulated light scattering in other liquids. Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) of light were studied. The results obtained provide useful information on the structure of water, its purity, and additions, which can result in its pollution. The excitation conditions of stimulated light scattering (SS) in one spatial mode and with maximum pulse energy conversion were determined. It is shown that stimulated light scattering can be successfully applied to control water quality (and it can be done very fast) as well as for information processing, i.e., the amplitude–phase structure of complex light fields can be registered in water as a dynamic hologram and reconstructed in real time.
