Abstract
It is observed experimentally for the first time that light-induced ba rodiffusion is an important mechanism for local phase separation in a liquid stratifying mixture in the field of short laser pulses. This ef fect is applied for determination of the binodal location of the mixtu re, whereas inducing the laser cavitation in the mixture can be used t o determine the spinodal location.
