Abstract
Observations of backward stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) in glass optical fibers are reported. Threshold for SBS has been achieved with less than 1 W of input power at 5355 Å. Relaxation behavior in the SBS signal has also been observed and is attributed to finite‐cell‐length oscillation. Experimental results are compared with theory, and the implied limitation to optical fiber transmission is discussed.Keywords
