Lagrangian description of Brillouin scattering and electrostriction in nanoscale optical waveguides

The diffraction of light by sound waves is known as Brillouin scattering. In optical waveguides, Brillouin scattering can arise from both bulk contributions, modelled by photoelasticity, and surface contributions, which are due to the waveguide boundaries being shaken by propagating sound. The recip...
