Abstract
In a recent publication1 the possibility of obtaining mutually pumped two-beam coupling by using forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) was suggested. This process is in some ways analogous to the technique of mutually pumped phase conjugation, which has been studied in photorefractive media.2 It can also be thought of as a form of Brillouin-induced four- wave mixing (BIPWM), in which the beams interact by means of forward scattering rather than the usual backward scattering.3
