Brillouin scattering was discovered in 1922 by Louis Brillouin [1]. It is one of a number of characteristic scattering phenomena that occur when light interacts with solid, liquid or gaseous media and corresponds to the scattering of light from thermally-induced acoustical waves (propagating pressure/density waves) present in media at all temperatures. At normal light levels the amount of scattering is small. The characteristics of the scattering can offer interesting information about the properties of the medium (temperature, pressure) and form the basis for remote fibre sensor devices. With intense coherent laser light, the rate of scattering can become so great that the acoustic wave amplitudes increase and the scattered. | Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Fundamentals and Applications Series in Optics and Optoelectronics Series Editors R G W Brown University of Nottingham UK E R Pike Kings College London UK Other titles in the series The Optical Transfer Function of Imaging Systems T L Williams Super-Radiance Multiatomic Coherent Emission M G Benedict A M Ermolaev U A Malyshev IV Sokolov and E D Trifonov Applications of Silicon-Germanium Heterostructure Devices C K Maiti and G A Armstrong Optical Fibre Devices J-P Goure and I Verrier Optical Applications of Liquid Crystals L R M Vicari Ed Forthcoming titles in the series Laser-Induced Damage of Optical Materials R M Wood High Speed Photonic Devices N Dagli Ed Diode Lasers D Sands High Aperture Focusing of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications in Optical Microscopy C J R Sheppard and P Torok Other titles of interest Thin-Film Optical Filters Third Edition H Angus Macleod Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Fundamentals and Applications M J Damzen The Blackett Laboratory Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine London UK V I Vlad V Babin and A Mocofanescu Institute of Atomic Physics University of Bucharest Bucharest Romania bp.
