Optical Mixing in Stimulated Brillouin Spectra
TLDR
In this article, a high-resolution grating spectrograph of the light from a giant-pulse ruby laser transmitted through the materials revealed the presence of more Stokes-shifted components than can be accounted for on the basis of amplification by the laser of Brillouin-shift frequencies.Abstract:
Optical mixing in 23 liquids and 2 glasses is reported. Observations with a high-resolution grating spectrograph of the light from a giant-pulse ruby laser transmitted through the materials reveal the presence of more Stokes-shifted components than can be accounted for on the basis of amplification by the laser of Brillouin-shifted frequencies. In addition, anti-Stokes-shifted components are observed. The frequency shifts are shown to correspond to those expected for 180° Brillouin scattering. Sound speeds calculated agree in general with those from stimulated and spontaneous scattering experiments. Sound-speed measurements at different temperatures and for two-component liquids give results predictable from bulk properties of the liquids. A number of experiments showing the conditions and the parameters which affect the optical mixing are described.read more

Stimulated brillouin scattering.
TL;DR: Stimulated Brillotuin scattering, the efficient scattering of light from parametrically amplified therma acoustic waves, has found many valuable uses since its initial observation and identification, including the measurement of hypersonic velocities and absorption in the gigaherz frequency range, laser frequency shifting, laser Q switching and others.
