Stimulated-Brillouin-scattering suppression using a single modulator in two-pump parametric architectures

We achieve synchronous phase modulation in a two-pump parametric processor using one phase modulator to provide stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression to both pumps. Simple frequency tuning controls the pump synchronization.
