Non‐linear optical limiting technology based on backward stimulated Brillouin scattering in grade‐index optical fibres

Abstract An effective non‐linear optical limiting technology is proposed here based on backward stimulated Brillouin scattering in grade‐index optical fibres. The excellent non‐linear optical limiting performance is experimentally verified by using 0.5 and 1 m grade‐index quartz fibres at the wavele...
