In a radially non-uniform fibre, the Brillouin contribution of each part of the core and cladding will
generally be at a different shift, and this effect _____the Brillouin linewidth
SpBS is an inelastic process that results from the interaction between an incident wave (the probe wave in our case) and thermally driven _______ fluctuations that travel
at the speed of sound.
what is an acousto-optic modulator
In materials that support shear stress, such as glasses, Brillouin scattering exists with both ______ acoustic (pressure waves) and ______ acoustic (shear waves)
The spectral width of the spontaneous Brillouin backscatter is dictated by the ____of the thermal phonons
how is strain rate converated to strain
what is SBS
Secondly, the _____ linewidth of the Brillouin process allows optical amplification and heterodyne
techniques to be employed for enhancing the signal quality; this has enabled Brillouin measurements
to be carried out over extremely long distances.
Brillouin scattering is the interaction between at least one optical signal (in the case of spontaneous scattering)
and acoustic waves resulting in a third, ____wave
The spectral width of the spontaneous Brillouin backscatter is dictated by the ____ of the thermal phonons.
what does SpBS stand for
In a radially non-uniform fibre, the Brillouin contribution of each part of the ___ and ____ will generally be at a different shift, and this effect broadens the Brillouin linewidth.
Brillouin scattering is an _____ scattering process that occurs in optical fibres
the Brillouin backscatter is _____ than the Ramen backscatter
The frequency shift and the intensity of the spontaneous Brillouin backscatter are sensitive to temperature
and strain. These relationships can be described with a ______, the elements of which will be
discussed next
what is the equation for frequency shift of Brillouin lines
In contrast with Raman scattering, where the interaction is with molecular vibrations, i.e. optical phonons, here the interactions occur with _____phonons, i.e. _____of the lattice.
For the Brillouin spectrum, In essence, as the numerical aperture increases, so does the range of ____that is captured by
the waveguide broadens.
what does BOTDR stand for
Brillouin scattering differs from Raman scattering in that the frequency shift is much ____(~10 GHz vs. ~13 THz for Raman scattering) and its natural linewidth is also
far ____(~30 MHz vs. ~6 THz).
_____ scattering in glasses is sensitive to strain and temperature in its frequency and intensity,
whereas the _____ strain-dependent frequency shift is only readily detected in crystalline [1] or reasonably
ordered solid materials such as polymer fibres with aligned molecular chains [2]. I
The lifetime of the hypersonic phonons is a function of _____ and _____, and it is known that the attenuation of the hypersonic wave (which determines the phonon lifetime) is a function of its frequency.
how is Brillouin different than Ramen scattering
