Abstract
The scattering of neutral sodium atoms by a strong field of two counte rpropagating (incident on and reflected from a mirror) short laser pul ses was used in an experimental investigation of a stimulated optical pressure. The reasons for the anomalous frequency structure in the sca ttering of atoms were identified. The oscillatory nature of the depend ence of the scattering on the offset from resonance was found to be si gnificant in strong laser radiation fields. The oscillation period dep ended on the distance between the reflecting mirror and the atomic bea m.
