Abstract

Using the well-known property of the focusing of hollow beams, it is shown that a highabsorption domain can be created in the end of a sample cell. The results can serve as one method of recording information in the interior of a medium. The implementation of such a domain can serve as a new mechanism for developing autowave processes for varying the output intensity of a light beam.
