Paper 3.4: N. Bloembergen, P. Lallemand and A. Pine, “The influence of self-focusing on stimulated Brillouin, Raman, and Rayleigh effects,” IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics 3, 197–201, 1966.

This note is a sequel to the preceding one. It shows how self-focusing may also determine the threshold for other stimulated scattering processes. Al Pine came to us from Berkeley as a postdoctoral fellow. After about a year, he accepted a position at MIT Lincoln Laboratories. He then moved to the University of Maryland, where his current interest is in biophysics.
