We demonstrate for what is believed to be the first time a Brillouin laser based on a holey fiber (HF). Using a simple Fabry-Perot resonator scheme containing a 73.5-m-long highly nonlinear HF with an effective area of 2.85 microm(2) , we obtain a threshold of 125 mW and a slope efficiency of ~70% . Stimulated and spontaneous Brillouin scattering effects are investigated in the HF, and we show that the high lasing threshold is due mainly to reduction of the effective gain coefficient caused by structural nonuniformity along the fiber length.

This paper investigates the use of the BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time-Domain Analysis) technology to monitor a large-scale bored pile wall in the field. Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) were deployed to measure internal temperature and strain changes during cement grouting, hardening, and excavation-induced deformation of a secant pile wall. The study details the geological conditions and DFOS installation process.

High-resolution Brillouin spectroscopy was employed to investigate the anisotropy in surface wave velocities within a bulk single crystal of SbTe, a well-known layered van der Waals material. By leveraging the bulk elastic constants derived from various simulation methods, we were able to theoretically calculate the distribution of surface acoustic phonon velocities on the cleavage plane of the material. Upon analyzing multiple simulation results, it became evident that the most significant discrepancies arose in the calculations of the elastic constant c, with values ranging from 48 to 98 GPa.

Article Synopsis
- Single crystals of organic compounds that respond to heat or light are well-studied, but those showing extreme mechanical response are less common in research.
- A tetrafluoro(aryl)sulfanylated bicyclopentane developed in this study exhibited a low-temperature thermosalient effect, where crystals jumped and disintegrated at temperatures below ∼193 K.
- Investigations using various techniques revealed that the mechanical response is not solely due to a chemical transformation or phase transition, but rather related to the release of built-up strain and possibly influenced by microstructural changes or impurities within the crystal.
Unveiling anharmonic scattering in van der Waals semiconductor GaPS through Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculation.

The van der Waals thiophosphate GaPS presents additional opportunities for gallium-based semiconductors, but limited research on phonon interactions has hindered optimization on thermal properties. This research undertakes a comprehensive investigation into the anharmonic phonon scattering within GaPS. The findings reveal pronounced anharmonic scattering, with both cubic and quartic phonon scatterings significantly influencing phonon redshift and broadening.

In recent years, the exploration of topological states within two-dimensional materials has emerged as a compelling focus, complementing their three-dimensional counterparts. Through theoretical calculations, we unveil the exceptional topological state in the monolayer lithium hydrosulfide, where an ideal hourglass nodal loop is identified. Notably, this nodal loop is characterized by only four bands, representing the simplest configuration for realizing hourglass dispersion.
