The selection rules of spontaneous Brillouin scattering in bulk crystalline solids are intrinsic material properties that formally constrain the energy, direction and polarization of the scattered photons for a given input state. In this work, we manipulate the polarization states of the input laser and Brillouin signal independently using polarization-sensitive optical micropillar cavities. The ellipticity of the micropillars lifts the degeneracy of the optical cavity modes, and induces a wavelength-dependent rotation of polarization [1,2], altering the Brillouin scattering selection rules. We developed a Brillouin spectroscopy scheme based on polarization filtering, allowing to measure acoustic phonon resonances with frequencies in the range of 20-100 GHz [3], with background-free spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectra.
