Abstract
Multiple Stokes orders of stimulated Brillouin scattering in a 60 m lo ng erbium-doped fibre amplifier are reported for excitation by 80 ns p ulses. The observed threshold power is significantly reduced as a resu lt of optical gain. The points of origin within the fibre of the gener ated Stokes pulses are located using space-time diagrams.
