Pumping effect of stimulated Brillouin scattering on stimulated Raman scattering in water

It is investigated experimentally that stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) can be enhanced by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). Two physical mechanisms of these phenomena were analyzed. These phenomena show that not only the competition between SBS and SRS exists, the pumping effect of stimulated Brillouin scattering on back-stimulated Raman scattering is also a commonly existing rule regardless of the experimental conditions.
