Abstract
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a fibre is suppressed by maki ng the core radius nonuniform along its length to utilise the core-rad ius dependence of the longitudinal acoustic frequency. The effective B rillouin gain of an SBS suppression fibre prepared by the VAD method w as reduced by 3.5dB compared with conventional fibres.
