Abstract:
Techniques for producing a Brillouin laser are provided. According to some aspects, techniques are based on forward Brillouin scattering and a multimode acousto-optic waveguide in which light is scattered between optical modes of the waveguide via the Brillouin scattering. This process may transfer energy from a waveguide mode of pump light to a waveguide mode of Stokes light. This process may be referred to herein as Stimulated Inter-Modal Brillouin Scattering (SIMS). Since SIMS is based on forward Brillouin scattering, laser (Stokes) light may be output in a different direction than back toward the input pump light, and as such there is no need for a circulator or other non-reciprocal device to protect the pump light as in conventional devices.

Claim (Index 1):
A Brillouin laser, comprising:\n a closed loop acousto-optical waveguide; an optical input arranged to input pump light into the closed loop acousto-optical waveguide; and an optical output, distinct from the optical input, arranged to output laser light from the closed loop acousto-optical waveguide.
