Spontaneous Brillouin scattering in bulk crystalline solids is governed by intrinsic selection rules which lock the relative polarization of excitation laser and Brillouin signal. In this work, we independently manipulate the polarization states of the two, using polarization-sensitive optical resonances in elliptical micropillars [1,2].
The induced wavelength-dependent polarization rotation [3] enables a polarization-based filtering technique [4]. We employ it to experimentally detect acoustic phonon resonances with frequencies in the range of 20-100 GHz, difficult to access with both standard Brillouin and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The strong modification of selection rules extends to any optical system with polarization-sensitive modes: plasmonic resonators, photonic crystals, birefringent micro- and nanostructures. It is thus relevant for applications in optomechanical, optoelectronic, and quantum optics devices [1,2].
