Acoustic build-up in on-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering
We investigate the role of the spatial evolution of the acoustic field in stimulated Brillouin scattering processes in short high-gain structures. When the gain is strong enough that the gain length becomes comparable to the acoustic wave decay length of order 100 microns, standard approximations treating the acoustic field as a local response no longer apply. Treating the acoustic evolution mo...
متن کاملGuided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in photonic crystal fibers
In silica glass fibers, thermally excited acoustic phonons scatter light into the beam propagating in the forward direction. At acoustic frequencies up to several hundreds of megahertz, the wave vectors of the phonons interacting with the light propagate essentially transversally to the fiber axis. This effect is known as Guided Acoustic Wave Brillouin Scattering (GAWBS) and leads to phase and ...
متن کاملObservation of surface acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in optical microfibers
We report the observation of surface-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering (SAWBS) in a subwavelength-diameter fiber and show that this effect relies on the generation by the electrostrictive force of phonons confined at the surface of the microwire. OCIS codes: 290.5900, 060.4370, 160.6030 Brillouin scattering between sound and light waves has been extensively investigated in optical fibers. It i...
متن کاملNear-forward Stimulated Brillouin Scattering
LLE Review, Volume 72 177 In stimulated Brillouin scattering1 (SBS) an incident (pump) light wave is scattered by the electron-density fluctuations associated with an ion-acoustic (sound) wave. This process generates a frequency-upshifted (anti-Stokes) light wave and a frequency-downshifted (Stokes) light wave. For most scattering angles the anti-Stokes wave is driven nonresonantly and can be n...
متن کاملStimulated Brillouin Scattering Microscopic Imaging
Two-dimensional stimulated Brillouin scattering microscopy is demonstrated for the first time using low power continuous-wave lasers tunable around 780 nm. Spontaneous Brillouin spectroscopy has much potential for probing viscoelastic properties remotely and non-invasively on a microscopic scale. Nonlinear Brillouin scattering spectroscopy and microscopy may provide a way to tremendously accele...
