Enhanced stimulated Brillouin scattering in tellurite covered silicon nitride waveguides via geometric and cladding engineering

We measure Brillouin-scattering in geometrically and cladding engineered tellurite covered silicon nitride waveguide in which we report gain values of 80.9 m⁻¹W⁻¹ and 76.3 m⁻¹W⁻¹, a 150 times improvement over previous silicon nitride based waveguides.
