    Abstract

    The features of the reflection of optical beams in the media with a defocusing thermal nonlinearity are analyzed. The dependence of the angle of the nonlinear total reflection on the power of the pump wave and the initial distance between the beams is determined. The reflection effects are studied for the interaction of the green (24 mW) and red (0.7 mW) laser beams that intersect at a relatively small angle (about 0.01 rad) in a 5-cm-long cuvette with the stained alcohol. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data.
