The amplification of a probe beam by stimulated Raman scattering in a disor
dered medium is experimentally investigated. The measurements are performed
in Ba(NO3)(2) powders with 532-nm pumping and a 563-nm Raman generated pro
be. The results fit well with Monte Carlo simulations of the experiment (C)
