Brillouin Scattering

Brillouin Scattering is a nonlinear optical phenomenon in which incident light waves interact with acoustic phonons in a medium, resulting in inelastic scattering characterized by frequency shifts due to the Doppler effect arising from the refractive index modulation induced by acoustic waves.
