A recent renaissance in Brillouin scattering research has been driven by the increasing
maturity of photonic integration platforms and nanophotonics. The result is a new breed of …

Mechanical metamaterials, also known as architected materials, are rationally designed
composites, aiming at elastic behaviors and effective mechanical properties beyond ('meta') …

The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review …

The phonon is the physical particle representing mechanical vibration and is responsible for
the transmission of everyday sound and heat. Understanding and controlling the phononic …

Single-frequency fiber lasers have drawn intense attention for their extensive applications
from high-resolution spectroscopy and gravitational wave detection to materials processing …

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 …

Electromagnetically induced transparency provides a powerful mechanism for controlling
light propagation in a dielectric medium, and for producing slow and fast light …

In the past decade there has been a surge in research at the boundary between photonics
and phononics. Most efforts have centred on coupling light to motion in a high-quality optical …
