From 15^th to 17^th of June 2021, the virtual Wombat workshop took place with about 200 participants. We thank all invited and contributed speakers as well as poster presenters for presenting their exciting results!

Now we plan ahead for the in-person workshop in 2022 in Erlangen and hope that…

Our paper on “Picosecond acoustic dynamics in Stimulated Brillouin Scattering” is published in Optics Letters.

Abstract:

Recent experiments demonstrating storage of optical pulses in acoustic phonons based on stimulated Brillouin scattering raise a number of questions about the spectral and…
