Stimulated Brillouin scattering has a wide range of applications in areas such as high resolution, high sensitivity stress and temperature sensing, variable optical delay lines, microwave photonics and all-optical signal processing. At present, the forward Stimulated Brillouin scattering effect is mainly achieved in photonic crystal fiber, which requires longer acoustic-optical interaction distance and larger injection power. In order to realize the forward stimulated Brillouin scattering effect on the chip, the waveguide needs to be designed to enhance the interaction between the light field and the sound field, reduce the waveguide length, and reduce the pump power. Optoelectronic Devices and Integrated Functional Laboratory of Wuhan Optoelectronics National Laboratory, Prof. Junqiang Sun, Ph.D. student Zhang Ruiwen and others used hybrid acousto-optic waveguides to achieve forward-stimulated Brillouin scattering on the chip. Through theoretical simulation, they analyzed the acousto-optic interaction in the hybrid waveguide with different structures and optimized the waveguide design to enhance the forward Brillouin effect. The Brillouin frequency shift measured in the experiment reached 2.425 GHz with a corresponding Q of 1100. The hybrid acoustooptic waveguide consists of two materials that allow independent control of the light field and the sound field, with good tuning. This structure can be widely used in all-optical signal process. The research result "Analysis of acousto-optic interaction based on forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in hybrid phononic-photonic waveguides," June 13, 2016, is published in OSA's Journal Optics Express (Vol.24, no.12, pp.13051- 13059, 2016) magazine. The research was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (61377074). (A) a beat signal measured before the multi-longitudinal mode laser is injected into the waveguide; (b) a beat signal measured after the multi-longitudinal mode laser is injected into the waveguide (no pump light); (c) The measured beat signal (with pump light); (d) The beat signal of the pump light and Stokes light.

Where open bearings with external seals have been previously used, sealed super-precision bearings provide superior performance.
When contaminants, such as wood dust or
swarf, get between the balls and raceways
of a precision Bearing, damage in the contact areas is almost inevitable.
When cutting
fluid enters the bearing, it reduces the
effectiveness of the lubricant, making the
bearing susceptible to corrosion, higher operating temperatures and accelerated wear.
The end result of both of these scenarios
is high maintenance costs combined with
lost revenues from unplanned downtime
and lost production.
Our sealed super-precision
angular contact ball bearings provide optimum performance in applications where
there is a need for high reliability and superior accuracy.
The bearings are filled with
high-speed grease. Non-contact seals keep
the grease in and contaminants out of the
bearings, with the lowest possible temperature rise and without compromising speed
capability.
These relubrication-free bearings are
particularly suitable for metal cutting and
woodworking machines.
Our bearings are characterized by:
• high-speed capability
• high stiffness
• extended bearing service life
• low heat generation
• compact cross section
