Direct observation of stimulated-Brillouin-scattering detuning by a velocity gradient.

We report the first direct evidence of detuning of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) by a velocity gradient, which was achieved by directly measuring the frequency shift of the SBS-driven acoustic wave relative to the local resonant acoustic frequency. We show that in the expanding part of the p...
