The spatiotemporal evolution of near-forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is studied in detail. For large scattering angles SBS grows and saturates as a three-wave instability. For small scattering angles SBS begins to grow as a three-wave instability, then continues to grow and saturates as a four-wave instability. Expressions for the saturation time and steady-state gain exponent of SBS are derived for large and small scattering angles.
