Spontaneous Rayleigh Seed for Stimulated Rayleigh Scattering in High Power Fiber Amplifiers
We estimate the Stokes wave starting power for stimulated thermal Rayleigh scattering (STRS) produced by thermal fluctuations in the fiber core that transiently alter the refractive index profile in the core. A transverse temperature gradient creates a transverse refractive index gradient via the th...
