contents We report on the experimental demonstration of cross-polarization backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (BSBS) in lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) waveguides. Performing polarization-sensitive pump and probe measurements, we captured both intra- and intermodal scattering between counterpropagating fundamental optical modes. Remarkably, cross-polarization scattering achieved SBS gains that exceeded $G_{B}=$80m$^{-1}$W$^{-1}$. This substantial gain not only broadens the utility of polarization in SBS but also paves the way for high-performance devices, including ultranarrowband lasers, robust broadband nonreciprocal devices, RF filters, and microwave-to-optical converters.
