  • Abstract
    We theoretically investigate non-reciprocal mode-conversion arising from Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in sub-micron nanophotonic waveguides. We find that hybrid acoustic modes can be efficiently generated via radiation pressure, leading to enhancement of SBS-based mode conversion.
