Stimulated Brillouin Scattering: Fundamentals and Applications

by M J Damzen, V Vlad, Anca Mocofanescu, V Babin

Overview

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is the most important example of a stimulated scattering process-light scattering that occurs when the intensity of the light field itself affects the propagating medium. A phenomenon that has been known of for some 35 years in solid state laser research, it has recently become relevant in the optical fiber ind
