Brillouin laser on chip
A Brillouin laser on chip is an integrated device producing laser light through stimulated Brillouin scattering, coupling pumped light to acoustic phonons in a waveguide for gain.
Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy
Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy (BLS) is a non-contact technique in which photons scatter from thermally excited acoustic waves, allowing label-free mapping of stiffness in living cells and materials.
Brillouin microscopy
Brillouin microscopy is a contactless, label-free optical technique that maps the mechanical properties of materials and biological samples by measuring light scattered from acoustic phonons.
Brillouin optical time-domain analysis
Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) is a distributed fiber-optic sensing technique that measures strain and temperature along an entire optical fiber, used to monitor pipelines, dams, and power cables.
Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry
Brillouin optical time-domain reflectometry (BOTDR) is a distributed optical fiber sensing technique that measures strain and temperature along an entire fiber from one end, used in structural health monitoring.
Brillouin scattering
Brillouin scattering is the inelastic scattering of light by acoustic phonons in a material, shifting the light's frequency; Léon Brillouin predicted it in 1922, and it now underlies distributed fiber-optic sensing.
