Fiber-optic distributed sensing, employing the Brillouin effect, is already a commercially
available measurement technique for the accurate estimation of the static strain/temperature …

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 …

The exotic physics emerging in non-Hermitian systems with balanced distributions of gain
and loss has recently drawn a great deal of attention. These systems exhibit phase …

High spatial (cm) and spectral (MHz) resolution Brillouin sensing is realized with enhanced
signal to noise ratio using a pre-activated acoustic field and an optical phase control over …

This paper reviews the recent advances on the high-performance distributed Brillouin optical
fiber sensing, which include the conventional distributed Brillouin optical fiber sensing …

Brillouin dynamic gratings (BDGs) in optical fibers have been developed for more than a
decade and gained considerable interests in different photonics fields. Based on its features …

A novel technique for the localization of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) interaction is
proposed, analyzed and demonstrated experimentally. The method relies on the phase …

One of the main goals in fiber optic sensor technology is to multiplex together a high number
of sensors in the same network in order to share expensive terminal equipment and develop …

Soil moisture and temperature are some of the most important controls for a wide variety of
geochemical and ecological processes in the vadose zone (VZ). Soil moisture is highly …
