Nanotechnology industry news & research highlights

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and Leibniz University Hannover have achieved strong coupling between light and long-lived acoustic vibrations in an optical fiber for the first time, using stimulated Brillouin scattering at 4 K without any optical or mechanical resonator. A measurable gap in the spectral response confirms the effect, which typically appears only in cavity systems.
