Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Optical Fibers for Optical Communication Systems

Abstract— This paper investigates stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) behaviour and phenomenon by using the theory derived from the two-coupled equation which is frequently used to explain the mutual interaction of the pump wave, the acoustic wave and the Stokes wave. Results show that once the Brillouin threshold is reached, a backward-propagating Stokes wave carries most of the input power. In addition, for a 25 km single-mode fiber (SMF), it is found that 35% of the pump power is transferred to the Stokes wave and the power transfer occurs within the first 2.5 km of the 25 km SMF.
