Abstract
We investigate stimulated Brillouin scattering in six different length s of dispersion compensating fibers (DCFs) using two laser sources at 1556 nm, one with a very narrow linewidth (similar to 100 kHz) and one with a large linewidth (similar to 100 MHz). Our results are comparab le to those of non-dispersion-shifted fibers and agree well with curre nt theories. These results provide guidelines as to the acceptable pow er levels which minimize nonlinear effects in DCFs. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
