Abstract

Light continua extending from the i.r. to the u.v. are generated with picosecond laser pulses in liquids and solids. It is demonstrated that the light spectra in water are produced by stimulated parametric fourphoton interactions, which are resonantly enhanced by single and difference frequency resonances of the non-linear susceptibility $\chi^{(3)}$. A theory of the various parametric ...
