Dynamic Brillouin Processes in Fibers

  • Chapter
Guided Wave Nonlinear Optics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 214))

Abstract

The influence of the finite acoustic damping time on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) has recently been experimentally emphasized in optical fibers (chaos,SBS-solitons, etc.). This paper reviews those characteristic dynamical features, and sorts out the situation where the popular intensity model of SBS is sufficient from those where a coherent 3-wave model is absolutely needed.
