The acoustic waves set up a displacement u in the media. The strain is the time derivative of
the displacement with position.
For Brillouin scattering, the nonlinear polarization source is cause by the changes in dielectric
constant by the traveling acoustic waves. The acoustic waves are in turn driven by the beat
waves of the electric field of light.

The r’s are the distance measured along the direction of propagation. The Laplacians are
simply the second order derivatives along the r’s.
Substituting the waveforms into (4), and neglecting the second order derivatives of the
acoustic filed for slow-varying with position.
