Abstract
Devices for the collection of Brillouin scattered light in liquids are discussed. Optical systems have hitherto employed conical mirrors; their angular acceptance functions are presented. Novel devices proposed and discussed are the cylinder lens and the “scattering tube” (a cylindrical mirror). Results of applications are reported.
