Résumé: We present a new optical arrangement which allows to avoid the broadening by finite aperture in Brillouin spectroscopy. In this system, all the rays scattered at the same angle by the whole scattering volume are collected on a single pixel of the area detector. This allows to use large collection angles, increasing the luminosity without lowering the accuracy of the frequency-shift and linewidth measurements. Several results of experimental checks are provided, showing the efficiency of the device.

Résumé: A previous inelastic UV scattering experiment on silica glass is reproduced using a high grade superpolished sample. In the pristine sample condition, surface scattering is not observable compared to Rayleigh scattering from the bulk. However, exposure to a fluence of the order of 100 J/cm$^2$ at photon energies slightly below the electronic gap generates observable surface damage. This occurs after a few hours illumination with the monochromatic spectrometer beam. No anomaly in the Brillouin linewidth was found up to an excitation energy of 7.8 eV.

Résumé: High-resolution Brillouin scattering experiments are performed under hydrostatic pressures ranging from 0 to 10 GPa in vitreous silica. The hypersound-attenuation coefficient exhibits a sharp maximum located at 2 GPa, which appears to coincide with the well-known minimum in sound velocity. Two main processes contribute to sound damping: the thermal relaxation of local defects and the anharmonic interactions with thermal vibrations. By analyzing the temperature dependence of the velocity and subtracting the changes produced by the above mechanisms, the unrelaxed velocity is found. It is constant at low temperatures and increases anomalously above a temperature onset.We show that the onset strongly depends on pressure, which is in agreement with a dynamical origin of the structural changes that produce the hardening.

Résumé: We report picosecond acoustic measurements in silica-glass films grown by wet thermal oxidation on a (111) silicon substrate. The longitudinal acoustic phonons are observed over the range from 150 to 300 GHz using an infrared pump and a second harmonic blue probe. The transducer is an aluminum thin film deposited on top. Multiple interference effects are analyzed and fully taken into account. They lead to a signal presenting rapid oscillations as a function of the sample thicknesses. The latter are determined by separate interferometry. Our remarkably precise acoustic attenuation results are found to follow rather well a model combining thermally activated relaxations and anharmonicity. New values for the optical absorption of silicon in the 400-to-500-nm region of the spectrum are obtained as a by-product.
