Selective laser heating and nonlinear light scattering in a homogeneous medium
Abstract
A scattering of light by temperature inhomogeneities which are produced by laser radiation and whose centers are associated with individual absorbing molecules has been observed. This is the first report of the observation of such a scattering. The scattering intensity observed experimentally agrees well with a theoretical prediction.
