Abstract

Observations of backward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in glass optical fibers are reported. Threshold for SBS has been achieved with less than 1 W of input power at 5355 Å. Relaxation behavior in the SBS signal has also been observed and is attributed to finite-cell-length oscillation. Experimental results are compared with theory, and the implied limitation to optical fiber transmission is discussed.
