Eliminating the broadening by finite aperture in Brillouin spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new optical arrangement which allows to avoid the broadening by finite aperture in Brillouin spectroscopy. In this system, all the rays scattered at the same angle by the whole scattering volume are collected on a single pixel of the area detector. This allows to use large collection angles, increasing the luminosity without lowering the accuracy of the frequency-shift and linewidth measurements. Several results of experimental checks are provided, showing the efficiency of the device.

Analysis of a simple method for the reduction of phonon peak broadening in surface Brillouin light scattering.
We present an investigation of the effect of the collecting lens aperture on the line shape of phonon peaks observed in surface Brillouin light scattering (SBLS) from surfaces of opaque materials and transparent thin films. In general, the broadening that is due to the aperture is asymmetric and can be as large as 60% of the peak frequency shift in the case of a f/1.4 aperture with an angle of ...
متن کاملDistributed Measurement of Brillouin Gain Spectrum in Photonic Crystal Fibre
Distributed measurements of the Brillouin gain spectrum in a photonic crystal fibre have been carried out for the first time to our knowledge. These measurements confirm the strong increase of the Brillouin threshold as resulting from the broadband and multimode nature of the Brillouin gain spectrum all along the fibre. INTRODUCTION The periodic wavelength-scale air-hole microstructure of solid...
متن کاملMagnon Broadening Effects in Double Layered Man- ganite La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7
Magnon linewidth of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 near the Brillouin zone boundary is investigated from both theoretical and experimental points of view. Abrupt magnon broadening is ascribed to a strong magnon-phonon coupling. Magnon broadening observed in cubic perovskite manganites is also discussed.
متن کاملTheoretical Study on Time Delay of Slow Light by Remodeling SBS Gain and Absorption Spectrum
In this paper, we perform a theoretical study of processes that demonstrates additional time delay obtained by remodeling Brillouin gain spectrum, and we also study the main influence factors on pulse time delay and broadening, as well as analyze the ways which increases the delay, and further suppresses pulse broadening. The results show that by remodeling Brillouin gain spectrum, one obtains ...
متن کاملNumerical study of all-optical slow-light delays via stimulated Brillouin scattering in an optical fiber
We study numerically all-optical slow-light delays in room-temperature single-mode optical fibers induced by stimulated Brillouin scattering. We consider the propagation of a pulse through a cw-pumped Brillouin fiber amplifier, where the carrier frequency of the pulse is tuned near the Stokes resonance. Pulse delay and broadening of the Stokes pulse are studied in the small-signal and gain-satu...
