Abstract
Brillouin scattering has been measured with a high degree of sensitivity by a system built around a laser-diode-pumped microchip LiNdP4O12 laser. An e fficient self-mixing modulation effect that is due to the interference betw een a lasing field and a weak field fed back from an acousto-optic modulato r by means of a phase-conjugate reflection was used. Laser-Doppler velocime try that can discriminate the direction of motion has been demonstrated. (C ) 1999 Optical. Society of America.
