Suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers by tilted fiber Bragg gratings

Abstract

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has significant influence on optical fiber communication (OFC), optical fiber sensing (OFS), and narrow-linewidth fiber laser (NLFL) systems. How to effectively suppress it has always been a challenge. In this Letter, we propose and demonstrate a versatile solution, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, by using tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs). A specially designed and fabricated TFBG can be used as an ultra-narrow spectral filter, precisely matching with the operation laser wavelength and the tiny frequency shift due to SBS. Experimental results show that the backward Stokes can be strongly rejected with a filtering ratio of > 10 d B ; meanwhile, an obvious increasing of SBS threshold is observed with a maximum value of 1.7 times that without the TFBG, which enhances the effective transmission power by 33%. The operation stability of this method also is validated. This work opens new opportunities for SBS suppression in OFC, OFS, and high-power NLFL systems.
