Engineering optical and acoustic modes in membrane silicon waveguides has now been used to demonstrate record high net Brillouin amplification in silicon. This technique enables new possible applications including silicon on-chip Brillouin amplification, Brillouin lasers, and Brillouin devices for signal processing.
