Brillouin scattering in optical fiber describes the interaction of an electro-magnetic field
(photon) with a characteristic density variation of the fiber. When the electric field amplitude …

The Year 2022 marks 100 years since Leon Brillouin predicted and theoretically described
the interaction of optical waves with acoustic waves in a medium. Accordingly, this resonant …

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 …

A review focused on real world applications of Brillouin distributed fiber sensors is presented
in this paper. After a brief overview of the theoretical principles, some works to face the two …

Distributed fiber sensing possesses the unique ability to measure the distributed profile of an
environmental quantity along many tens of kilometers with spatial resolutions in the meter or …

We present a novel method, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), for the
simultaneous distributed measurement of fast strain variations along the entire length of the …
