Experimental investigation of stimulated Brillouin scattering in an amplified medium

Journal Article · · Sov. J. Quant. Electron. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
An experimental investigation was made of stimulated Brillouin scattering (STBS) in Nd/sup 3 +/-activated glass fibers. Optical pumping of these fibers at the wavelength of 1.06 ..mu.. resulted in amplification. Linear amplification in these fibers lowered the STBS threshold and increased the gain of conversion into a reflected Stokes wave.
