Popis: International audience; While usually negligible in standard optical fibers, the group velocity dispersion of acoustic waves may in some cases play a significant role in the dynamics of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in propagation medias with more complex structures, such as microstructured fibers. The usual 3-wave coherent model of SBS can be adapted to take a perturbative acoustic dispersion into account, but the slowly varying envelopes approximation does not hold for stronger values of the acoustic dispersion, which call for a more sophisticated inertial model of SBS. A new regime of SBS mirror with a spatially inverted acoustic profile is predicted in this limit. In presence of strong acoustic dispersion, this regime exhibits a higher conversion efficiency than the usual mirror in the dispersionless case, as well as nonlinear self-stabilization of the phase of the acoustic wave when the pump is strongly depleted. Formal calculations allow the identification of regions of strong dynamic dispersion.
