Spontaneous Brillouin Scattering Spectrum and Coherent Brillouin Gain in Optical Fibers

Brillouin light scattering describes the diffraction of light waves by acoustic phonons, originating from random thermal fluctuations inside a transparent body, or by coherent acoustic waves, generated by a transducer or from the interference of two frequency-detuned optical waves. In experiments wi...
