Abstract:

Stimulated Brillouin scattering is a traveling wave parametric interaction between an acoustic wave and light. There are three types of stimulated Brillouin scattering and in this thesis the basic concept of these interactions is discussed. Experimental evidence for the backward traveling acoustic wave case is presented. The existence of a threshold power density for this case is shown. The appearance of boundary effects and the disagreement of experimental results with the existing theories is presented. Author
