Abstract
A new numerical model which incorporates Brillouin shift frequency var iations arising from fibre inhomogeneities has been developed for stim ulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibres. This enables simulation s of backscattered and transmitted power as functions of input power b ased only on known physical and material parameters as well as the pol arisation factor and the measured Brillouin gain linewidth for the fib re. Agreement between modelled and experimental power characteristics for a CW input is excellent.
