Book ChapterDOI

Chapter 9 – Stimulated Brillouin and Stimulated Rayleigh Scattering

Robert W. Boyd
TL;DR: In this article, a light scattering process is said to be stimulated if the fluctuations are induced by the presence of the light field, which is called stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical response of dipole antennas on an epsilon-near-zero substrate

Sebastian A. Schulz, +7 more
- 27 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that plasmonic dipole antennas on an ultrathin ENZ substrate have properties significantly different from antennas on a traditional substrate and that the resonant wavelength is independent of the linear dimensions of the dipole antenna.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simple, compact, high-performance permanent-magnet Faraday isolator.

Daniel J. Gauthier, +2 more
- 01 Oct 1986 - 
TL;DR: The design of a Faraday isolator that uses a short glass rotator rod and produces highly uniform rotation across its clear aperture is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fiber-Based Slow-Light Technologies

George M. Gehring, +4 more
- 01 Dec 2008 - 
TL;DR: A review of current fiber-based technologies capable of producing slow-light effects is presented, with emphasis on the applicability of these technologies to telecommunications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Slow- and fast-light: fundamental limitations

Robert W. Boyd, +1 more
- 10 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the propagation of light pulses through materials possessing extreme values of the group velocity and present fundamental limitations to how many pulse widths a pulse of light can be delayed or advanced.
