We present a detailed overview of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in single-mode
optical fibers. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we discuss the …

The ubiquitous role of optical fibres in modern photonic systems has stimulated research to
realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. Recent …

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

Phased array radars have remarkable advantages over radars with single-element antenna
in terms of agility, flexibility, robustness, and reconfigurability. Current pure-electronic …

We demonstrate on-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in an As_2S_3 chalcogenide
rib waveguide. SBS was characterized in a 7cm long waveguide with a cross-section 4μm x …

One of the Top Selling Physics Books according to YBP Library Services The exotic effects
of slow light have been widely observed in the laboratory. However, current literature fails to …

We report a novel kind of all-optical dynamic grating based on Brillouin scattering in a
polarization maintaining fiber (PMF). A moving acoustic grating is generated by stimulated …

I consider the physical basics of slow light propagation in atomic media, photonic structures,
and optical fibers. I show similarities and differences between all of the above media and …

The polarization properties of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification or
attenuation in standard single-mode fibers are examined through vectorial analysis …

We demonstrate a novel dynamic BOTDA sensor based, for the first time to our knowledge,
on the use of the Brillouin phase-shift in addition to the conventional Brillouin gain. This …
