Experimental and Theoretical Investigations on Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in Multimode Fibers, at 1550 nm Wavelength

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is the study of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in multimode fibers, at 1550 nm wavelength, cw operation, in order to build high power IR fiber lasers. Two theoretical models are considered, the usual plane wave model and a modal model, developed in this paper. The theoretical results for SBS threshold and SBS reflectivity are compared with the experimentally determined values. Good agreement was obtained when using mode structure analysis.
