Thermal Effects Study on Stimulated Brillouin Light Scattering in Photonic Crystal Fiber
we investigate the temperature-dependences of the Brillouin frequency shift in three different kind of single-mode fibers using a heterodyne method for sensing temperature. Positive dependences coefficients of 0.77, 0.56 and 1.45MHz/0C are demonstrated for 25 km long single-mode fiber, 10 km long non-zero dispersion shifted fiber and 100 m photonic crystal fiber, respectively. The results indic...
متن کاملEnhancement of Brillouin slow-light in optical fibers through optical pulse shaping
The impact of pulse shape is studied in order to enhance time delaying in Brillouin slow-light. An exponential-like pulse with 14-ns FWHM duration is delayed up to 31-ns in a 27 MHz wide Brillouin resonance. ©2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.4370) Nonlinear optics, fibers; (290.5900) Scattering, stimulated Brillouin; (350.5500) Propagation
متن کاملComprehensive Theoretical Study on Threshold Power of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Single-Mode Fibers
We have investigated and developed a theoretical approach to explore stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phenomena in single mode fiber. SBS happening threshold power condition has been studied in terms of fiber parameters and input pump power. To assess threshold power precisely, the pump depletion effect and fiber loss has been included by employing 1% criterion. The threshold exponential g...
متن کاملRecent Progress in Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors
Rayleigh, Brillouin and Raman scatterings in fibers result from the interaction of photons with local material characteristic features like density, temperature and strain. For example an acoustic/mechanical wave generates a dynamic density variation; such a variation may be affected by local temperature, strain, vibration and birefringence. By detecting changes in the amplitude, frequency and ...

Delaying and advancement of optical pulses using stimulated Brillouin scattering in As2Se3 fiber is demonstrated.
