Abstract
We report on an experimental investigation of stimulated Brillouin scatteri ng pumped with a Bessel beam. Owing to the extended interaction length alon g the diffraction-free propagation, higher-order Stokes components are gene rated in a bulk Brillouin-active medium with odd and even orders propagatin g in opposite directions. The spatial, spectral, and temporal properties of the interacting waves are discussed. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
