Abstract

We investigate theoretically the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) which occurs during damage experiments on thick fused silica samples. A 3D time dependent model shows that for conditions equivalent to the experimental ones, the Stokes fluence at the front surface is of the same order as the incident laser fluence increasing in this way the damage probability of this face. The effect of self-focusing on this process is presented.
