“…However, SBS has been extremely useful in a number of areas, notably in ultra-narrowbandwidth lasers [2][3][4][5][6], sensing [7], slow-and fast-light , and microwave signal processing [30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. SBS can also be used to create dynamic acoustic gratings in the propagation material [23,32,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]-these gratings can be used to reflect cross-polarized signals or to produce strong phase-conjugate beams through a process known as Brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing (BEFWM) [49]. In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in SBS, largely driven by the ability to harness the effect on the nanoscale.…”

Doc. ID 195152) We review recent progress in inducing and harnessing stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in integrated photonic circuits. Exciting SBS in a chip-scale device is challenging due to the stringent requirements on materials and device geometry. We discuss these requirements, which include material parameters, such as optical refractive index and acoustic velocity, and device properties, such as acousto-optic confinement. Recent work on SBS in nano-photonic waveguides and micro-resonators is presented, with special attention paid to photonic integration of applications such as narrow-linewidth lasers, slowand fast-light, microwave signal processing, Brillouin dynamic gratings, and nonreciprocal devices.

“…In particular, Brillouin dynamic gratings (BDG) and Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) thru generating SBS in FMF have been proposed successively for sensing purposes [53,54]. Nevertheless, though the FMF-based BDG and BOTDA have good sensing performance and multi-parameter discrimination capability, two lightwaves must be injected into both ends of the fiber under test (FUT) when operating with these techniques, resulting in their complicated setup and high cost.…”

In this work, nonlinear optical effects are exploited for future implementations of space-division multiplexing fiber systems. The paper first presents the fundamentals of intermodal nonlinear phenomena over few-mode fibers, such as cross-phase modulation, four-wave mixing (FWM), stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman scattering. Second, the potential applications of fewmode nonlinear effects are discussed for sensing and optical signal processing. We demonstrated how fiber mode symmetries and linear mode coupling affect intermodal power transfer and spectral broadening. Lastly, the paper proposes a ultrafast all-optical simultaneous wavelength and mode conversion scheme based on intermodal FWM, with the capability of switching state of polarization and mode degeneracy orientation. Under this scheme, cross-polarization modulation and cross-mode modulation can be achieved.

“…Recently Brillouin dynamic gratings (BDGs) have been demonstrated in tens-of-meter long polarization maintaining fibres (PMFs) [19], in single-mode fibers (SMFs) [20], and in few-mode fibres (FMFs) [21]. Photonic integration of functionalities such as microwave signal processing, tunable delay lines and data storage requires realization of on-chip BDG.…”

We review recent demonstration of stimulated Brillouin scattering in a chalcogenide photonic chip and its application to optical and microwave signal processing tasks. The interaction between light and sound via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) was exploited in chalcogenide photonic circuits to achieve on-chip SBS slow and fast light, microwave photonic filters, and dynamic gratings using travelling-wave geometry. Using a ring-resonator geometry, photonic-chip based Brillouin laser was demonstrated.
