    Abstract

    Narrow bandwidth, wavelength transparent nature, and bandwidth reconfigurability of the stimulated Brillouin scattering, which is a third-order optical nonlinearity, puts it at the forefront of the photonics revolution that is driving technological advances in applications ranging from ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, microwave photonics, slow- and fast-light, coherent optical communications, non-reciprocal devices to cavity solitons. Real-world applications benefit from multiple Brillouin devices integrated into a photonic chip. Efficient on-chip excitation of stimulated Brillouin scattering is, therefore, one of the key challenges to realize these breakthrough technologies. This chapter presents on-chip stimulated Brillouin scattering, requirements and challenges in achieving it at chip-level, its applications, and future integration of on-chip SBS to CMOS-compatible platforms for mass production and economic viability.
