Symmetric and asymmetric fiber loop mirrors for observing guided-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering in polarization-maintaining fibers

Opt Lett. 1994 Sep 15;19(18):1424-6. doi: 10.1364/ol.19.001424.

Abstract

A new scheme of symmetric and asymmetric fiber loop mirrors is proposed to identify clearly the polarized guided-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering spectra with multimode laser sources. The guided-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering spectra in PANDA fibers in the low-frequency region are unambiguously confirmed with this scheme.
