Abstract

We study the dynamics of nonlinear optical processes such as self-focusing, self-phase modulation, and stimulated Raman scattering in Kerr-liquids under the nanosecond laser pulse excitation. The results prove the existence of the transition Ginzburg–Frank-type effect, which promotes the appearance of new spectral components of the laser radiation at the medium boundary. The generation of extended anti-Stokes frequency-angular bands of stimulated Raman scattering is explained. When the velocity of a self-focusing focal spot matches the phase velocity of the non-linear polarization at the anti-Stokes Raman frequency and the phase velocity of the scattered axial radiation, the most intense frequency-angular bands appear. They are described by the equations typical of the Cherenkov radiation.
