AbstractAn overview on current trends in stimulated Brillouin scattering and optical phase conjugation is given. This report is based on the results of the “Second International Workshop on stimulated Brillouin scattering and phase conjugation” held in Potsdam/Germany in September 2007. The properties of stimulated Brillouin scattering are presented for the compensation of phase distortions in combination with novel laser technology like ceramics materials but also for e.g., phase stabilization, beam combination, and slow light. Photorefractive nonlinear mirrors and resonant refractive index gratings are addressed as phase conjugating mirrors in addition.

Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is an example of traveling wave parametric interaction involving photons and phonons. When one of the interacting waves is a backward traveling wave, which yields spatial nonlinear distributed regeneration covering the entire medium, the system exhibits a typical backward traveling wave parametric interaction. It may oscillate with a distinct threshold. The generation of backward traveling light becomes known as optical phase conjugation. In this paper, both pulsed and continuous wave modes of phonon excitations for SBS are described.
