Pa. Apanasevich et al., STATISTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BACKWARD STIMULATED RAMAN-SCATTERING DUE TO QUANTUM-NOISE, Laser physics, 6(6), 1996, pp. 1198-1203
We investigate statistical characteristics of forward and backward sca
ttering caused by quantum noise of polarization of a medium in a chamb
er with hydrogen pumped by focused laser radiation. Calculation is per
formed both with and without allowance for the generation of the anti-
Stokes wave in parametric Stokes-anti-Stokes interaction. It is demons
trated that, under definite intensities of pump radiation, the probabi
lities of energy distribution in backward and forward scattering becom
e bimodal.
