非弹性光散射中两个最具有代表性的现象就是拉曼散射和布里渊散射,它们分别以印度科学家拉曼(C. V. Raman)和法裔美籍科学家布里渊(L. Brillouin)的名字命名的。人们对前者的认知远比后者多(包括相应的散射现象的理解和认识)。为此,本文将对L.布里渊及以他名字命名的布里渊散射做详细的介绍和阐述。

Raman scattering and Brillouin scattering are two phenomena, which are most representative  in the inelastic light scattering, they were named by using C. V. Raman and L. Brillouin who are Indian and American of France descent scientists, respectively. The cognition (including phenomena, theory and their applications) of the former is more deepen than the latter, for people. Therefore, L. Brillouin and Brillouin scattering will only have been given more details in this summarize.
