Abstract
A number of transparent liquids have been evaluated for use in stimulated Brillouin scattering at 532 nm. Measurements were made of frequency shift, SBS threshold, reflectivity and optical breakdown properties. It was found that the alkanes, and in particular n-pentane, performed well and measurements were made of Brillouin gain coefficient and phonon lifetimes. It is suggested that these liquids are promising candidates for use in self-pumped phase conjugate mirrors, high gain Brillouin amplifiers and four-wave mixing mirrors.
