Threshold reduction for stimulated Brillouin scattering using a multipass resonator

Abstract

Stimulated Brilloun scattering (SBS) has been shown to have many useful applications including aberration correction through phase conjugation and coherent combination of independent lasers. However, high power is required to achieve a SBS threshold using the common method of focusing the pump into the Brillouin medium. A power threshold of ~105 W or greater (and corresponding intensity of ~108 W cm−2) is typically required for 3-μm radiation.
