Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) Suppression Techniques
Abstract
In an effort to increase SBS threshold for future high power fiber amplifier applications, several mitigation techniques have been evaluated and modeled. Among these techniques include novel modulation schemes, core material modifications, and utilization of the core thermal differential during amplification. The most promising techniques were combined to provide an estimated increase in SBS threshold by over a decade.
