Brillouin two-beam coupling has been used to achieve gains as high as 109.1 The limiting factor in amplifying a weak signal is the presence of spontaneously scattered noise at the Stokes-shifted frequency. This noise arises from scattering of the pump light by acoustic fluctuations in the medium and will be amplified by the same factor as the input signal.
