Brillouin oscillation appears in picosecond ultrasonics for a transparent specimen because of backward light scattering by moving strain pulse. Its amplitude is comparable with those of other responses, such as pulse-echo signals and…
In the well-known stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) process, spontaneous acoustic phonons in materials are stimulated by laser light and scatter the latter into a Stokes sideband. SBS becomes more pronounced in optical fibers and has…
We analyze theoretically the effect of technical fluctuations on laser lineshape in terms of statistics of amplitude and phase noise and their respective bandwidths. While the phase noise tends to broaden the linewidth as the magnitude of…
Recent experiments demonstrating storage of optical pulses in acoustic phonons based on stimulated Brillouin scattering raise a number of questions about the spectral and temporal capacities of such protocols and the limitations of the…
