We present a detailed overview of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in single-mode
optical fibers. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we discuss the …

The ubiquitous role of optical fibres in modern photonic systems has stimulated research to
realize slow and fast light devices directly in this close-to-perfect transmission line. Recent …

The backscattering mean free path ξ, the average ballistic propagation length along a
waveguide, quantifies the resistance of slow light against unwanted imperfections in the …

One of the Top Selling Physics Books according to YBP Library Services The exotic effects
of slow light have been widely observed in the laboratory. However, current literature fails to …

Brillouin slow light in optical fibers is a promising technique for the development of all-optical
buffers to be used in optical routers. The main drawback of this technique up to now has …

I consider the physical basics of slow light propagation in atomic media, photonic structures,
and optical fibers. I show similarities and differences between all of the above media and …

The polarization properties of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification or
attenuation in standard single-mode fibers are examined through vectorial analysis …

We review progress in the development of methods for controlling the group velocity of light.
These methods allow one to create situations in which the group velocity of light is much …

In this paper, we investigate slow light via stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a room
temperature optical fiber that is pumped by a spectrally broadened laser. Broadening the …

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in optical fibers has long been used in frequency-
selective optical signal processing, including in the realization of microwave-photonic …
