Abstract
We have developed a practical Brillouin active fiber ring sensor of length less than 20m, by employing an optical amplifier to compensate for most of the connection losses in the ring. The loss reduction brings the standard Brillouin threshold from 21 down to 0-0.1 through the enhancement of the finesse of the ring. However, in the course of our experiments, some level of temporal instability and chaotic behavior in the backscattered Stokes intensity and also in its spectral line shift were consistently observed.
