Coherently refreshed acoustic phonons for extended light storage

Birgit Stiller, Moritz Merklein, Christian Wolff +4

Acoustic waves can serve as memory for optical information, however, acoustic phonons in the GHz regime decay on the nanosecond timescale. Usually this is dominated by intrinsic ac…

On-chip correlation-based Brillouin sensing: design, experiment and simulation

Atiyeh Zarifi, Birgit Stiller, Moritz Merklein +10

Wavelength-scale SBS waveguides are enabling novel on-chip functionalities. The micro- and nano-scale SBS structures and the complexity of the SBS waveguides require a characteriza…

Crosstalk-free multi-wavelength coherent light storage via Brillouin interaction

Birgit Stiller, Moritz Merklein, Khu Vu +4

Stimulated Brillouin scattering drives a coherent interaction between optical signals and acoustic phonons and this effect can be used for storing optical information in acoustic w…
