Abstract
Self-phase modulation resulting from radiation influence on material p arameters of a medium can, like the Doppler and gravitational redshift s, result in a nearly uniform frequency shift. This is confirmed exper imentally by the use of the orientational mechanism of the interaction of a laser beam with a nematic liquid crystal. The self-induced frequ ency shift is proportional to light intensity and the distance light t ravels in the medium.
