A generalized Wigner–Moyal statistical theory of radiation is used to obtain a general dispersion relation for stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) driven by broadband field with arbitrary statistics. The monochromatic limit recovered from our result, reproducing the classic relation. behavior growth rate instability as simultaneous function bandwidth pump wave, intensity incident and wave num...

I recent years, advances in pulseshaping technology have shown great potential for applications in microwave photonics.1,2 Researchers’ interest is partly motivated by the fact that the generation of arbitrary electromagnetic signals with 1-50 GHz frequency content is a challenge for purely electronic systems. Broad bandwidth signals could have a positive impact on high-speed wireless communica...

2014 Three types of short-time measurements using temporally incoherent light instead of short pulses are described. Electronic dephasing in a polydiacetylene film, vibrational dephasing in dimethylsulfoxide liquid, and relaxation of optical Kerr effect in CS2 and nitrobenzene were observed with femtosecond time resolution.
