N. Nishizawa et al., CHARACTERISTICS OF GUIDED ACOUSTIC-WAVE BRILLOUIN-SCATTERING IN POLARIZATION-MAINTAINING FIBERS, Optical review, 3(1), 1996, pp. 29-33
Characteristics of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in polari
zation maintaining fibers are investigated theoretically and experimen
tally. Spectra of polarized and depolarized scattering are measured fo
r two different types of polarization maintaining fibers: the PANDA (p
olarization maintaining and absorption reducing) fibers and the ellipt
ical-jacket fibers. Calculated results are in agreement with the exper
imental ones in the low frequency region.
