We review recent progress in inducing and harnessing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS)
in integrated photonic circuits. Exciting SBS in a chip-scale device is challenging due to the …

Many important biological functions and processes are reflected in cell and tissue
mechanical properties such as elasticity and viscosity. However, current techniques used for …

Nanoscale modal confinement is known to radically enhance the effect of intrinsic Kerr and
Raman nonlinearities within nanophotonic silicon waveguides. By contrast, stimulated …

Since the early days of nonlinear optics in the 1960s, the field has expanded dramatically,
and is now a vast and vibrant field with countless technological applications. Providing a …

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), as one type of third-order nonlinear optics effect, is
extensively exploited and rapidly developed in the field of lasers and optoelectronics. A …

With high‐temporal coherence and low‐phase noise, narrow‐linewidth lasers have
important applications in spectroscopy, holography, and coherent detection. At present, ultra …

Label-free, non-contact imaging with mechanical contrast and optical sectioning is a
substantial challenge in microscopy. Spontaneous Brillouin scattering microscopy meets this …

Beam combining of phase-modulated kilowatt fiber amplifiers has generated considerable
interest recently. We describe in the time domain how stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is …

We study numerically all-optical slow-light delays in room-temperature single-mode optical
fibers induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering. We consider the propagation of a pulse …

L. Brillouin predicted inelastic light scattering by thermally excited sound waves in 1922.
Brillouin scattering is a non-contact and non-destructive method to measure sound velocity …
