Abstract

Transmission of intense laser beams through heterogeneous scattering media is considered. The laser-induced transparency effects (suppression of scattering) in such media due to compensation of the linear refractive-index difference ΔnL of heterocomponents of a medium by nonlinear change ΔnNL for different mechanisms of nonlinearity are predicted and experimentally observed. Applications of these effects in lasers (for Q switching, mode locking, etc.) are discussed.
