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 …

Brillouin scattering is an important and interesting nonlinear effect involving the interaction
between optical and acoustic fields in optical waveguides. It is increasingly useful in the field …

Brillouin scattering in optical fibres is a fundamental interaction between light and sound
with important implications ranging from optical sensors to slow and fast light. In usual …

Today's most precise optical instruments--gravitational-wave interferometers and optical
atomic clocks--rely on long storage times for photons to realize their exquisite sensitivity …

A dual-cavity opto-mechanical microwave oscillator (OM-MO) for microwave photonic (MWP)
generation with ultra-narrow linewidth based on radial (R) guided acoustic modes of a …

Inelastic scattering processes such as Brillouin scattering can often function in cascaded
regimes and this is likely to occur in certain integrated opto-acoustic devices. We develop a …

A multimode optical fiber supports excitation and propagation of a pure single optical mode,
ie, the field pattern that satisfies the boundary conditions and does not change along the …

We investigate the onset of nonlinear effects in hybrid polymer-chalcogenide optical
microwires and show that they provide an enhanced Kerr nonlinearity while simultaneously …

An narrow linewidth all-optical optomechanically microwave oscillator (OM-MO) based on
forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) for microwave photonics (MWPs) generation …

We present the generation of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) in hybrid
phononic-photonic waveguides. To confine the optical and acoustic waves simultaneously …
