Abstract

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is a well established nonlinear optical effect with significant applications in opticalcommunications, sensing, and biological spectroscopy. Its integration into optical waveguides and resonators offers promising avenues for developing compact and stable devices. This work explores SBS in emergent anisotropic platforms, specifically Lithium Niobate and Lithium Tantalate waveguides.
