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 …

New applications for composite materials are being developed at a rapid pace. However,
their complex microstructures present considerable challenges for nondestructive testing …

Traveling-wave optomechanical interactions, known as Brillouin interactions, have now
been established as a powerful and versatile resource for photonic sources, sensors, and …

This article reviews the state-of-the-art in remote bonding of fiber Bragg grating sensors,
primarily for Lamb wave measurements in structures. The presence of damage in a structure …

Stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers is carefully reassessed for the case of
distributed optical gain (achievable in optical fibers lightly doped with rare-earth ions) …

The flexural mode is the lowest-order borehole mode with dipole excitation. The low-
frequency asymptote of the flexural wave speed is used to estimate the formation shear …

GUIDED ACOUSTIC WAVE PROPERTIES IN SINGLE-MODE OPTICAL FIBRE DESIGN …

We report the first detailed implementation of a 2-D finite-element method (FEM) through a
commercial FEM solver that can be universally applied to calculate the Brillouin gain …

Distributed temperature sensing is the preferred approach for detecting and localizing
normal zones in the high-field magnets of particle accelerators and fusion energy systems …

We propose a novel quasi-mode interpretation (QMI) method to represent acoustic radiation
modes in acoustically antiguiding optical fibers (AAOFs) in terms of discrete quasi-modes …
