9.4. SBS Dynamics 351<br />

Δn SBS . If we write the imaginary part as (ω s /c)Δn SBS , this index change is given by<br />

Δn SBS = g pc|A p | 2 ( ) δ<br />

2ω s A eff 1 + δ 2 , (9.4.21)<br />

where δ = 2(Ω − Ω B )/Γ B is a normaliz<strong>ed</strong> detuning parameter and g p = 4κ 1 κ 2 /Γ B is<br />

the peak value of the Brillouin gain given in Eq. (9.1.5).<br />

The physical origin of the SBS-induc<strong>ed</strong> index change lies in the requirement of<br />

causality that leads to the so-call<strong>ed</strong> Kramers–Kronig relation. According to this relation,<br />

changes in the gain (or loss) of a m<strong>ed</strong>ium are always accompani<strong>ed</strong> with changes<br />

in the refractive index. The magnitude of such changes may be relatively small. For<br />

example, the maximum index change from Eq. (9.4.21) occurs for δ = 1 and has a<br />

value of
