光学透明材料中瞬态SBS过程的数值研究

建立了描述噪声起振和Stokes种子光辅助起振的SBS（受激布里渊散射）理论模型，利用变步长有限差分方法数值求解了一维瞬态后向SBS耦合波方程组，得到了抽运光和散射光光强以及介质密度变化量的时空分布；研究了Stokes激光场对SBS反射率以及发生阈值的影响，发现Stokes种子光的存在大大减短了SBS过程的起振时间，并且在抽运光脉冲宽度固定的情况下使SBS的发生阈值大幅度降低；最后，探讨了瞬态受激布里渊过程对光学材料破坏的可能性并对今后的工作进行了展望. 关键词： 光学透明材料 受激布里渊散射 斯托克斯种子光 反射率

Numerical study for transient SBS process in transparent optical materials

Theoretical model is established to study the Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) process with both noise initiation and seeding Stokes laser assisted initiation.Multi-steps finite difference method is adopted to solve coupled wave equations numerically, and the temporal and spatial profiles of scattered light intensity and density variations of the medium are obtained. The dependence of Stokes laser on SBS reflectivity and initiation thresholds is investigated.It is found that the time needed for SBS initiation decreases sharply since the seeding Stokes laser is introduced. Finally, the damage potential of the SBS process in optical materials is evaluated and future work is outlined.
