Abstract

I have investigated a scheme for suppressing stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers. The scheme makes use of a sampled Bragg grating fabricated within the fiber used for transmitting intense Q-switched pulses. The grating is designed such that the spectrum of the Stokes pulse generated through stimulated Brillouin scattering falls entirely within its stop band. I show numerically that the number of sampled fiber Bragg gratings in 1 m is applied directly to suppressing stimulated Brillouin scattering rather than the coupling coefficient. This prevents the build up of the backward-propagating Stokes wave and mitigates the deleterious effects of stimulated Brillouin scattering. The simulation shows that 15 ns pulses with 1 kW peak power can be transmitted though a 1 m-long fiber with little energy loss using this scheme.

본 논문에서는 광섬유 내에서 유도 브릴루앙 산란을 억제하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 광섬유 내에 샘플링 브라그 격자를 사용함에 의하여 강한 Q-스위치 펄스를 전송할 수 있도록 하였다. 격자는 유도 블릴루앙 산란으로 생성되는 스토크 펄스의 스펙트럼이 모두 브라그 격자의 반사 대역에 오도록 설계된다. 1 m 내에 샘플링 광섬유 브라그 격자의 수가 결합계수 보다 유도 브릴루앙 산란의 억제에 직접적인 영향을 미친다는 것을 보였다. 이것은 후방 스토크 파의 발생을 억제하며 유도 브릴루앙 산란의 악 영향을 감소시킨다. 본 연구 방법을 통하여 1 kW 최대 파우어를 갖는 15 ns 펄스가 작은 에너지 손실을 발생시키며 전송될 수 있다는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통해 보였다.
