“…Also, according to Refs. [19,30], the threshold value of stimulated Raman scattering is much higher than that of SBS. Consequently, the major component of the back scattering in our experiments could only be SBS.…”

The principle of a lidar based on Brillouin scattering is introduced. The basic physics of the Brillouin lidar is discussed. The applications of the Brillouin lidar in remote sensing of the ocean, such as measurement of the sound speed and the bulk viscosity of water and detecting submerged objects are investigated. An actual Brillouin lidar system is developed. Also, several basic problems related to Brillouin lidar are studied in detail. The attenuation coefficient of a pulsed laser beam with high pulsed energy in water is investigated; it is helpful to reveal the propagation property of a laser beam in water. The investigations on the threshold value of SBS are made theoretically and experimentally. Finally, a novel phenomena is investigated experimentally, in which Stimulated Raman scattering can be enhanced by stimulated Brillouin scattering.

“…Therefore, understanding clearly these mentioned fundamental problems has become important in Brillouin lidar. On the other hand, SBS [19][20][21] is an important topic in the study of non-linear optics. The studies in this area will be helpful for deeply understanding the physical mechanism of powered laser beams.…”

“…Indeed, several books on SBS have already been written (Damzen, 2003;Agrawal, 2008), describing the problems it causes in practical systems and how to overcome them, but also how SBS can be used to improve other systems. These positive applications broadly can be thought of as improving lasers and as improving sensing systems.…”

“…The most commonly used way of producing optical phase conjugation is SBS (Boyd, 1992;Damzen et al, 2003;Shen, 2003). SBS is normally achieved by focusing a laser beam into a SBS medium.…”

“…Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear optical process that generates backward scattered phase conjugate wave (Zel'dovich et al, 1972;Zel'dovich et al, 1985;Damzen et al, 2003;Brignon & Huignard, 2004). A device that generates the phase conjugate wave by the SBS process is called SBS phase conjugate mirror (PCM).…”
