Brillouin Scattering, Volume 109 in the Semiconductors and
Semimetal series, marks the centenary of Leon Brillouin's seminal
1922 paper which provided a detailed theory of the effect that now
bears his name. Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is the
strongest third order optical nonlinearity and plays an important
role in contemporary science and applications, particularly lasers,
communications, and fibre optics, as well as playing a new role in
experimental physics and the life sciences. This volume provides a
foundational perspective on Brillouin scattering, starting with a
historical review of Brillouin scattering, the theory of SBS and
the convergence between SBS and Optomechanics. We then consider SBS
in several different waveguide geometries, including photonic
crystal fibres, integrated optics and superfluids.
It was a dream come true. Ellie has become a contestant in the
National Art of Dance Competition. And she has no intention of
accepting anything less than first place. But it isn't her skills
alone that will be the deciding factor. Every dancer in the
competition is given a partner. Ellie's been paired Alexander, a
dancer who is at least as handsome as he is talented. Ellie cannot
deny her attraction to the confident, almost cocky, dancer. Will
they end up being partners off the dance floor, too? Or will their
feelings just end up getting in the way of Ellie's dream?
Jenny is the daughter of one of the wealthiest businessmen in L.A.
She has everything she wants right at the swipe of a credit card.
Well, almost everything. After an attempt on her life, Jenny's
father has assigned her a personal bodyguard. Fabian follows her
wherever she goes with his delicious bulging muscles and chiselled
features that Jenny wished she could run her hands over... Having a
babysitter is bad enough, but did he have to be so hot?! Not that
Fabian is completely happy with the arrangement, either. Jenny is
spoiled, entitled, downright irritating, and has a sumptuous body
that makes his job, well... quite hard. Mutual attraction aside,
though, Fabian has a job to do. Jenny is in danger. But will they
be able to fight their feelings for long enough for him to do it?
Gideon has going out with Shirley for two months. She's principled,
strong-willed, and beautiful. He enjoys her company, and hopes that
one day she will agree to make their relationship official. But
there's something he's not telling her. A secret so terrible he's
afraid of what she might do if she finds out. When the moon is
half-full, Gideon changes into a creature of the forest: a vicious,
bloodthirsty werebear. Can he keep his secret for long? And if he
doesn't... will she ever accept him as he is? And if she does, will
his... animalistic urges be too much for her to handle...?
