Ivanisik A. Dynamics of non-linear optical processes in Kerr liquids

The work is devoted to investigation of dynamics of non-linear optical processes including self-focusing, stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and self-phase modulation, for Kerr liquids. The most important scientific achievements are represented herein. The comprehensive methods are applied for registration of frequency, angular, frequency-angular, spatial-angular, frequency-spatial spectra in order to achieve the overall goal of research and compare with theoretical calculations. Using these methods the general solution is provided to the problem of experimental studies of the dynamics of self-focusing and its impact on the frequency-angular SRS spectra along the path of excitation laser pulse focal point.
