Thus, Brillouin scattering can be used to measure the energies, wavelengths and frequencies of various atomic chain oscillation types ('quasiparticles').

Given an approximate frequency of visible light, ~ 1014 GHz, it s easy to see that Brillouin scattering generally lies in the GHz regime.
13.
In the late 1950s, he became interested in Brillouin scattering, and attempted to build a laser, though Theodore Maiman succeeded in doing so first.
14.
From the perspective of solid state physics, Brillouin scattering is an interaction between an electromagnetic wave and one of the three above-mentioned crystalline lattice waves.
15.
However, when interacting with a medium, in combination with effects such as Brillouin scattering it may produce distorted shifts greater than the linewidth of the source.
16.
Thus, the study of light scattering by thermally driven density fluctuations ( or Brillouin scattering ) has been utilized successfully for the measurement of structural vitrification and compressibility in glasses.
17.
And so redshift due to Brillouin scattering, as mentioned in the title of these two papers is also consistent ?-- Iantresman 22 : 37, 19 April 2006 ( UTC)

However, Brillouin scattering experiments with X-rays, confirming an intuition of Yakov Frenkel, have shown that transverse phonons do exist in liquids, albeit restricted to frequencies above a threshold called the Frenkel frequency.
19.
This power scaling has been achieved with developments in the fiber technology, such as the adoption of stimulated brillouin scattering ( SBS ) suppression / mitigation techniques within the fiber, along with improvements in the overall amplifier design.

*Raman scattering is another form of inelastic light scattering, but instead of scattering from acoustic phonons, as in Brillouin scattering, the light interacts with optical phonons, which are predominantly intra-molecular vibrations and rotations with energies larger than acoustic phonons.
