Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering in liquid nitrogen was studied with a high repetition rate Nd : YAG laser. Severe distortions of the laser and Raman light beams were observed. These thermal-blooming effects are the result of heating of the laser path by vibrational energy relaxation which changes the refractive index of the medium.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
