Abstract
We have observed collisional redistribution of laser light scattered by a three-level atom, thallium, in the presence of argon. The two observed spectral components correspond to Raman scattering and collision-induced fluorescence. We have seen the growth of both components from spontaneous to stimulated scattering as the laser intensity is increased. While the gain for the Raman component agrees with theory, the observed gain of the collision-induced fluorescence is over an order of magnitude lower than predicted.Keywords
