We propose and experimentally demonstrate the highest-resolution BOTDA system ever reported using Brillouin dynamic grating in a polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF). Acoustic waves containing the information of local Brillouin frequency are generated by a ...
We experimentally demonstrate an extremely simple technique to achieve pulse advancements in optical fibers by using both spontaneous amplified and stimulated Brillouin scattering. It is shown that the group velocity of a light signal is all-optically cont ...
Slow and fast light with null amplification or loss of a light signal is experimentally demonstrated. This novel method for producing zero-gain slow and fast light takes advantage of the great flexibility of stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber ...
We describe a novel technique based on stimulated Brillouin scattering for propagating fast light (signal advancement) with low distortion in optical fibers. The essence of the technique relies on the presence of two separate gain resonances in the Brillou ...
We demonstrate expeimentally a novel approach for fast light generation based on a wideband compound spectral resonance using stimulated Brillouin scattering. The pulses experience fast light with extremely reduced distortion and small amplitude change. ...
A method to achieve an extremely wide and flexible control of the group velocity in an optical fiber using stimulated Brillouin scattering is presented. Group velocities below 71,000 km/s on one hand, well exceeding the speed of light in vacuum on the othe ...
Generation of optical delays with minor amplitude change are realized through the superposition of gain and loss profiles generated by stimulated Brillouin scattering. It results in synthesized spectral profiles identical to an ideal electromagnetically-in ...
Stimulated Brillouin scattering makes possible the generation of synthesized gain spectra, so that innovative slow light schemes can be realized, ranging from broadband tunable delays to a zero-gain situation identical to an ideal electromagnetically-induc ...
In a previous paper (Song et al., 2005) we reported the first experimental demonstration of pulse advancement with gain in optical fibers using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). We tested the two methods described above to achieve gain-assisted fast l ...
We propose a novel method to realize self-induced fast light and signal advancement with no distinct pump source in optical fibers, based on stimulated Brillouin scattering. This scheme will be helpful for real application systems. ...
