Description
Summary:The authors present the holographic image reconstruction of the volume object, illuminated by giant laser pulses of nano- and picosecond duration, and of its Fourier spectrum which has been observed experimentally in Raman, Brillouin, and Rayleigh stimulated scatterings. Image reconstruction laws have been investigated. Wavefront conjugation with transformation, obeying holography principles, had been shown to take place at the backward SRS. A physical model of the phenomenon is given. The diffraction efficiency of dynamic holograms in the stimulated scattering has been measured. The possibility of the light beams spatial structure conversion at the stimulated scatterings has been experimentally shown.
