Stimulated Brillouin scattering inside an optical fiber

[eahaidar]

Hello everyone
I need some one once and for all to give me the steps to have a clear step by step idea about the stimulated Brillouin scattering inside an optical fiber please and thank you

hi there

google came up with dozend of hits
what research have you done ?
what specifically did you not understand ?

here's just one professional paper on the subject

cheers

Here are two papers that may help:

lol Bobby,
that second one of yours I had already posted SNAP

davenn: Yes, If I wanted to study that subject, the "corning" paper looked like a good place to start.

Great minds think alike.

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 project

Thank you my friend do u have any papers concerning FWM that would be great also thank you

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 yoi

Eahaidar,

You have asked about “FWM”. This abbreviation might stand for “Four Wave Mixing”, or something else.

But I guess you meant “FWHM”. This abbreviation stands for “full width at half maximum” and appears in Section Two of the paper “Stimulated Brillouin Scattering: An Overview of Measurements, System Impairments, and Applications” referenced above.

If my guess is correct, you need to learn exactly what the term means, because it is commonly used in many areas of science. One place to begin is Wikipedia:

“Full width at half maximum (FWHM) is an expression of the extent of a function, given by the difference between the two extreme values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value.
FWHM is applied to such phenomena as the duration of pulse waveforms and the spectral width of sources used for optical communications...”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_width_at_half_maximum

These two sites also explain “FWHM”:

Finally, here’s another paper that gives an excellent overview of your topic:

"NONLINEAR SCATTERING EFFECTS IN OPTICAL FIBERS
S. P. Singh, R. Gangwar, and N. Singh
Department of Electronics and Communication
University of Allahabad
Allahabad-211002, India
Abstract—The nonlinear scattering effects in optical fiber occur due
to inelastic-scattering of a photon to a lower energy photon. This
paper describes stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman
scattering processes. Their thresholds, reduction in power penalty and
applications along with comparative study of these effects are also
presented."

Hey bobby
Thank you for the reply
I am asking about four wave mixing and the reason that I will work on fixing the phase matching of FWM using gain of SBS inside a chalcogenide chip that so if you have papers about then that would be great anything would help thank you again
