Abstract

A method for determining the specific gain under conditions of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is proposed, which is based on measuring the amplification of a Stokes beam with an inhomogeneous spatial intensity distribution in a sample used as an SBS amplifier. Under the same experimental conditions, the values of the SBS gain are obtained for the new phosphate glass KGSS 0180 (g = 1.9 cm/GW) and for the GLS 22 (g = 1.4 cm/GW), K8 (g = 1.3 cm/GW), and KU2 (g = 1.5 cm/GW) glasses, which are widely used in laser systems. The SBS frequency shift of radiation with a wavelength of 1.054 μm (14.57±0.02 GHz) and the hypersonic velocity (5030 m/s) have been determined for the KGSS 0180 glass by optical heterodyning. The relaxation time of hypersound in the noted media is estimated.
