Abstract
Gain spectroscopy is a well established technique for the study of nonlinear scattering phenomena. Several capabilities of gain spectroscopy make the technique very powerful for frequency domain measurements of scattering processes. The use of gain spectroscopy is illustrated by the application of the technique to Brillouin measurements in solids.
