Abstract
Both the spatial growth rate of stimulated Raman scattering and conversion
efficiency to Stokes radiation were measured in three liquids (methanol,
ethanol, and acetone) in the regime where the pump pulse is significantly
depleted. Self-focusing was present, and, when taken into account by model
calculations, the region of maximum Stokes spatial growth is in agreement with
experiment. Conversion efficiency to first Stokes was measured for both focused
and unfocused pump beams in liquid HCl and is in agreement with the depleted
beam model.
