Abstract

A 1.5m long cell, different focusing lens, a KrF laser which bandwidth is 0.5cm-1, and SF6 gas as Brillouin medium are used in the experiment. The influences of SF6 pressure on threshold, energy reflectivity and pulse compression of stimulated Brillouin scattering excited by broadband KrF laser were investigated, respectively. For more precisely to explain the experimental results, a novel model considering optical breakdown and pump linewidth was presented. Optical breakdown is assumed to lead to the loss of pumping energy only. The experimental results are consistent with the numerical theory.
