10dB Brillouin gain in silica nanofibers
Stimulated Brillouin scattering, a fundamental nonlinear optical process, involves the coherent interaction of photons with acoustic phonons in a waveguide, and finds a wide range of applications in signal processing or in optical sensing. In this work, we achieve the amplification of an optical probe signal by exploiting stimulated Brillouin scattering in two optical nanofibers fabricated with very similar diameters and placed in series, demonstrating an amplification larger than 10dB.
