    Abstract:
    We demonstrate the use of cw stimulated Brillouin gain (SBG) spectroscopy to measure high resolution Brillouin spectra of liquids. Results are reported for thirteen liquids at room temperature, all obtained in a polarized (VV) configuration with a scattering angle of 178°. The observed Brillouin frequencies compare favorably with those predicted on the basis of previous spontaneous Brillouin light scattering measurements. The narrow Brillouin bands of carbon disulfide (70 MHz half-width at half-maximum) are easily resolved in the SBG experiment, and the sensitivity is sufficient to detect the Mountain mode in the SBG spectrum of carbon tetrachloride. © 1991.
