Abstract
An efficient numerical 3-D model of transient stimulated Brillouin scatteri ng (SBS) is reported. The model is used to examine the effects of transient phenomena on the efficiency of phase conjugation by SBS and the mode struc ture of the Stokes and pump pulse inside the SBS cell. The effect of parame ters such as phonon lifetime, input pulse shape and input energy on the tra nsient fidelity of SBS is investigated. A new transient phenomenon which ca uses SBS fidelity degradation at high focal intensity (short Rayleigh range ) is examined.
