Stimulated Brillouin scattering is analyzed in finite systems which have a boundary reflective to light. The linear instability is considerably altered from that for the usual transmitting boundaries. In the nonlinear regime the scattered light intensity may behave chaotically in time and exhibit rich frequency spectra including shifts corresponding to fractional harmonics of the fundamental acoustic wave. Simulation results compare favorably with data from laser-plasma-interaction experiments.
