Abstract:

One of possible mechanisms of generation of laser radiation harmonics in light scattered from a medium in the front of a shock wave is studied theoretically. Interference of upper quantum states can produce a pronounced effect on the spectrum of scattered radiation: combined frequencies can appear in the spectrum of scattered light along with the multiple frequencies, close to them.
