Title: Ultranarrow-Linewidth Stimulated Intermodal Forward Brillouin Scattering
We demonstrate strong (~ 300 W-1m-1) and ultranarrow linewidth (~100 kHz) stimulated intermodal forward Brillouin scattering in a homogeneous few-mode optical fiber taper. This unique combination of parameters can enable record performance Brillouin-based microwave-photonic devices.  more » « less

    Abstract Omphacite is a major mineral phase of eclogite, which provides the main driving force for the slab subduction into the Earth's interior. We have measured the single‐crystal elastic moduli of omphacite at high pressures for the first time up to 18 GPa at ambient temperature using Brillouin spectroscopy. A least squares fit of the velocity‐pressure data to the third‐order finite strain equation of state yieldsKS0′ = 4.5 (3),G0′ = 1.6 (1) withρ0 = 3.34 (1) g/cm3,KS0 = 123 (3) GPa, andG0 = 74 (2) GPa. In addition, the synchrotron single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data have been collected up to 18 GPa and 700 K. The fitting to Holland‐Powell thermal‐pressure equation of state yieldsKT0′ = 4.6 (5) andα0 = 2.7 (8) × 10−5 K−1. Based on the obtained thermoelastic parameters of omphacite, the anisotropic seismic velocities of eclogite are modeled and compared with pyrolite between 200 and 500 km. The largest contrast between the eclogite and pyrolite in terms of seismic properties is observed between ~310 and 410 km.

    ABSTRACT The synthesis of two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (2D‐TMD) materials gives rise to inherent defects, specifically chalcogen vacancies, due to thermodynamic equilibrium. Techniques such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD), metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), flux growth method, and mechanical exfoliation produce large‐scale, uniform 2D TMD films, either in bulk or monolayers. However, defects on the film surface impact its quality, and it is necessary to measure defect density. The phonon confinement model indicates that the first‐order Raman band frequency shift depends on defect density. Monolayer Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) exhibits three phonon dispersions at the Brillouin zone edge (M point): out‐of‐plane optical phonon vibration (ZO), in‐plane longitudinal optical phonon vibration (LO), and in‐plane transverse optical phonon vibration (TO). The LO and ZO modes overlap with Raman in‐plane vibration (𝐸12g) and Raman out‐of‐plane vibration (𝐴1g), respectively, causing peak broadening. In the presence of defects, the Raman 𝐸12gvibration energy decreases due to a reduced restoring force constant. The Raman 𝐴1gvibration trend is random, influenced by both restoring force constant and mass. The study introduces a quantitative defect measurement technique for CVD‐grown monolayer MoS2using Raman 𝐸12gmode, employing sequential data processing algorithms to reveal defect density on the film surface.

    Brillouin spectrometers, used for characterizing material mechanical properties, traditionally employ etalons such as Fabry-Pérot interferometers and virtually imaged phased arrays (VIPA) that use spatial dispersion of the spectrum for measurement. Here, we introduce what we believe to be a novel approach to Brillouin spectroscopy using hot atomic vapors. Using laser induced circular dichroism of the rubidium D2 line in a ladder-type configuration, we developed a narrow-band monochromator for Brillouin analysis. Unlike etalon-based spectrometers, atomic line monochromators operate in free-space, facilitating Brillouin spectroscopy integration with microscopy instruments. We report the transmission and spectral resolution performances of the spectrometer and demonstrate Brillouin spectra measurements in liquids.

    We demonstrate a new, to the best of our knowledge, kind of self-pulsation in a microcavity Brillouin laser. This specific self-pulsation is generated by the interplay between the Brillouin lasing and the thermo-optic effect in an optical microcavity. Intriguingly, the self-pulsation behaviors are simultaneously present in both forward input pump and backward Brillouin lasing emission. By developing a coupled-mode theory, our numerical simulations display an excellent agreement with the experimental results.

    The Brillouin instability (BI) caused by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) can limit the output power of high-energy laser amplifiers. Pseudo-random bitstream (PRBS) phase modulation is an effective modulation technique to suppress BI. In this paper, we study the impact of the PRBS order and modulation frequency on the BI threshold for different Brillouin linewidths. PRBS phase modulation with a higher order will break the power into a larger number of frequency tones with a lower maximum power in each tone, leading to a higher BI threshold and a smaller tone spacing. However, the BI threshold may saturate when the tone spacing in the power spectra approaches the Brillouin linewidth. For a given Brillouin linewidth, our results allow us to determine the order of PRBS beyond which there is no further improvement in the threshold. When a specific threshold power is desired, the minimum PRBS order required decreases as the Brillouin linewidth increases. When the PRBS order is too large, the BI threshold deteriorates, and this deterioration occurs at smaller PRBS orders as the Brillouin linewidth increases. We investigate the dependence of the optimal PRBS order on the averaging time and fiber length, and we did not find a significant dependence. We also derive a simple equation that relates the BI threshold for different PRBS orders. Hence, the increase in BI threshold using an arbitrary order PRBS phase modulation may be predicted using the BI threshold from a lower PRBS order, which is computationally less time-consuming to compute.
