Abstract
The threshold power for stimulated Brillouin scattering has been measured from 5° to 300°K in crystalline and fused quartz. There is only a small dependence on temperature. Further threshold measurements in 10 different substances show that instead the threshold depends on the photoelastic properties of the medium. Both facts were predicted by Kroll's dynamical theory. The threshold for stimulated Raman scattering, however, may be strongly temperature dependent as demonstrated for calcite.Keywords
