Features of stimulated scattering in a colloidal solution with physicochemical properties changed under laser irradiation

Lines of various forms of stimulated scattering have been revealed in the scattering spectrum excited by pulsed second-harmonic radiation of a YAG:Nd$^{3+}$ laser in an initially homogeneous aqueous colloidal solution (suspension) of polystyrene nanoballs. Dynamic light scattering measurements have shown that the laser-stimulated coagulation of some nanoballs with the formation of particles with an order-of-magnitude larger size occurs in the solution. An explanation of this phenomenon has been proposed.
