Multiple Brillouin Stokes orders in a 60m erbium-doped amplifier under pulsed excitation

Multiple Stokes orders of stimulated Brillouin scattering in a 60 m long erbium doped fibre amplifier are reported for excitation by 80 ns pulses. The observed threshold power is significantly reduced as a result of optical gain. The points of origin within the fibre of the generated Stokes pulses a...
