title: Shortening of KrF(*) laser pulses using stimulated Brillouin scattering.
abstract: Pulses as short as 43 psec were generated by Brillouin backscattering at 248 nm in cyclohexane. The measurements show that the process is accompanied by considerable spectral broadening of the reflected radiation.
