I want to know how exactly does it work in the fiber by using SBS and FWM because once I understand those I can start with my projectdavenn said:
Thank you my friend do u have any papers concerning FWM that would be great also thank youBobbywhy said:
Thank you so much one more thing do you have any papers for FWM that would be awesome because I still don't have access to the uni thank yoidavenn said:lol Bobby,
that second one of yours I had already posted SNAP

Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear optical phenomenon that occurs when light travels through a medium, such as an optical fiber, and interacts with the density fluctuations in the material. This results in the generation of a new optical wave that has a slightly different frequency and propagates in the opposite direction to the incident wave.
SBS inside an optical fiber occurs when the intensity of the incident light exceeds a certain threshold, causing the density fluctuations in the fiber to become significant. This leads to the generation of a backward-propagating Stokes wave that scatters off the density fluctuations and interacts with the incident wave, resulting in amplification or attenuation depending on the phase relationship between the two waves.
SBS has several applications in optical fibers, including optical amplification, frequency conversion, and sensing. SBS-based optical amplifiers are used in long-distance optical communication systems, while SBS-based frequency converters are used for wavelength conversion in optical communication networks. SBS also has potential applications in fiber optic sensors for measuring temperature, strain, and pressure.
One of the main challenges in controlling SBS in optical fibers is the threshold power for SBS to occur, which is affected by various factors such as fiber length, core diameter, and temperature. Another challenge is the nonlinear nature of SBS, which can lead to unwanted effects such as signal distortion and crosstalk in optical communication systems.
There are several techniques to mitigate SBS in optical fibers, including using fibers with a larger core diameter, decreasing the fiber length, and using fibers with a higher SBS threshold. Another approach is to use SBS suppression techniques such as Brillouin optical time domain analysis (BOTDA) and Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR) to measure and compensate for the SBS-induced distortions in optical communication systems.
