Brillouin scattering self-cancellation

The interaction between light and acoustic phonons is radically modified in sub-wavelength photonic structures. Here, the authors engineer the optical and acoustic modes to perfectly cancel the two interaction mechanisms—the photo-elastic and moving-boundary effects—which leads to Brillouin self-can...
