Brillouin-based light storage and delay techniques

Moritz Merklein, Birgit Stiller, Benjamin J. Eggleton

Abstract Storing or delaying optical signals is of key interest for fundamental research and applications in radar, microwave signal processing, quantum information as well as optical communication systems. Delay systems based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), a coherent interaction between optical and acoustic waves can be implemented in optical fiber or chip-scale platforms, operate at room temperature and can be fully controlled via the optical pump wave. In this article, we review delay and storage techniques based on SBS. We present SBS slow-light, fiber delay lines based on Brillouin dynamic gratings, Brillouin quasi-light storage and Brillouin-based light storage via photon-phonon conversion and compare their performance. In this process, we also include an overview of different platforms used for Brillouin light storage and delay schemes, such as optical fiber, planar soft-glass waveguides, and silica fiber-tip resonators.

Slow light through Brillouin scattering in continuum quantum optomechanics

Hashem Zoubi, Klemens Hammerer

This study investigates the possibility of achieving a slow signal field at the level of single photons inside nanofibers by exploiting stimulated Brillouin scattering, which involves a strong pump field and the vibrational modes of the waveguide. The slow signal is significantly amplified for a pump field, with a frequency higher than that of the signal and attenuated for a lower pump frequency. We introduce a configuration for obtaining a propagating slow signal without gain or loss and with a relatively wide bandwidth. This process involves two strong pump fields with frequencies both higher and lower than that of the signal where the effects of signal amplification and attenuation compensate each other. We account for thermal fluctuations due to the scattering of thermal phonons and identify conditions under which thermal contributions to the signal field are negligible. The slowing of light through Brillouin optomechanics may serve as a vital tool for optical quantum information processing and quantum communications within nanophotonic structures.
