Abstract: A theoretical and experimental investigation is made of the conditions for absolute instability in stimulated Brillouin scattering of two opposite optical beams. It is shown that the presence of an opposite pump wave with an optimal wave mismatch can reduce the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold severalfold.
