Abstract
The hypersonic wave generated by the stimulated Brillouin scattering of intense laser light in fused quartz has been detected and measured, and an estimate of the attenuation constant of the 24-GHz sound wave in fused quartz at room temperature is obtained on the basis of the measured characteristics of the Stokes light generated in the stimulated scattering process.Keywords
