Whispering-gallery modes to investigate opto-mechanical interactions in optical fibers

A novel optical method to investigate opto-mechanical resonances in optical fibers is demonstrated. Based on the excitation of whispering-gallery modes, transverse acoustic mode resonances, which are responsible for the forward Brillouin scattering effect, are characterized.
