Abstract:

We present some results of laboratory studies on the amplification of Raman scattering by ozone molecules during their photodissociation due to nonlinear two-photon absorption of XeCl laser radiation at the wavelength of 308 nm at a lens focus. As laser radiation energy increases to 40 mJ and nearly breakdown conditions are achieved at the lens' focus, the experimentally observed amplification factor can reach five orders of magnitude.
