Polarization Analysis of Brillouin Scattering in a Circularly Birefringent Fiber Ring Resonator
نویسندگان
چکیده
A complete analysis of the eigenstate of polarization (ESOP’s) in a Brillouin fiber ring laser using fibers with a high circular birefringence is proposed in this paper. Conditions to obtain circular ESOP’s for application in a Brillouin fiber optic current sensor are highlighted as well as conditions to have stable ESOP’s for applications in other passive or active sensors. Measurements are performed on a Brillouin laser using a mechanically twisted fiber ring resonator confirming the theoretical predictions. Ring resonator configurations using linearly birefringent fibers are compared to configurations using circularly birefringent fibers.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering in highly birefringent microstructure fiber: experimental analysis.
We report on an experimental analysis of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a 20-m-long highly birefringent microstructure fiber for sensing applications. In particular, an experimental setup based on Brillouin optical frequency-domain analysis, operating at a wavelength of 1550 nm, has been employed in order to analyze the distribution of Brillouin frequency shift along the fiber, as wel...

A Brillouin fiber laser using a highly nonlinear birefringent photonic crystal fiber is reported. The core of the fiber was elliptical in shape. A single-longitudinal-mode high power fiber laser was used as a Brillouin pump and the laser produced multiwavelength output with a 0.04 nm separation. Adjusting the polarization controller plates made it possible to obtain a single wavelength laser. T...
