Nonlinear optics with broad-band lasers. Progress report, July 15, 1985-July 1986

OSTI ID:5727750
Progress has been made in the studies of both stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) with pulsed broad-band lasers and the statistical behavior of multimode cw dye lasers. It has been observed that in pumping SRS by a broad-band dye laser intensity fluctuations in the pump laser are transferred to some extent to the generated Stokes light. The intensity cross-correlation function between the pump and Stokes were directly measured and its form was found to be influenced by the medium's relaxation time. The statistical properties of a cw dye laser are being studied by observing its intensity autocorrelation function and corresponding power spectrum. 5 refs., 2 figs.
