title: High-power single-mode laser operation using stimulated Rayleigh scattering.
abstract: We report single-mode high-power Nd:YAG laser operation by stimulated thermal Rayleigh Q switching. We also analyze the phase-conjugation properties of collinear four-wave mixing that is due to low-frequency excitations in absorbing liquids.
