Abstract
The threshold and reflectivity of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) were investigated in an excited laser gain medium. The SBS in a steady-sta te was modeled numerically and its results for the threshold and reflectivi ty were compared with experimental results of SBS in a Rhodamine 6G solutio n pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. It is demonstrated that the r eflectivity has the maximum value at a certain intensity of an incident las er beam. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
