Large Brillouin Interaction in Hollow Core Fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Flavien Gyger

Brillouin gain is observed in hollow core fibers filled by standard gases at high pressure. This enables all interactions based on stimulated Brillouin scattering to be realized in hollow core fibers, such as amplification, optical signal processing and di ...

Roadmap on all-optical processing

Simon Julien Fabbri, Xiang Zhang

The ability to process optical signals without passing into the electrical domain has always attracted the attention of the research community. Processing photons by photons unfolds new scenarios, in principle allowing for unseen signal processing and comp ...

Effect of enhanced Rayleigh scattering on the random fiber laser efficiency

Luc Thévenaz, Camille Sophie Brès, Can Yao

The effect of Rayleigh scattering enhancement in an optical fiber on the random fiber laser efficiency is investigated, and the effect of different corresponding fiber loss is also studied. ...

Opto-acoustic chemical sensor based on forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

Stimulated Brillouin scattering is well-known for providing distributed measurements in the field of optical fiber sensing. For the conventional backward stimulated Brillouin scattering, the sensing capability is nevertheless limited to temperature and mec ...

A technique to measure the local spectrum of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) along a standard optical fiber is proposed. The local acoustic impedance of surrounding material is retrieved from the measured FSBS resonance linewidth. ...

The thermomechanical behavior of a standard single mode fiber with different coating materials is theoretically analyzed under different temperature conditions. Results show that the thermal expansion/shrinkage of the fiber coating introduces an extra stra ...

High Signal-to-Noise Ratio Stimulated Brillouin Scattering Gain Spectrum Measurement

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Zhisheng Yang, Kenny Hey Tow, Flavien Gyger

A technique to measure nonlinear processes, such as stimulated Brillouin scattering, with a very-high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is presented. Brillouin gain measurement with 77dB SNR is demonstrated over a 2m-long section of single-mode fiber. ...

Optical Society of America2018

Brillouin scattering is an interaction between light and sound in a material. This inelastic light scattering had been observed in the first optical fibres that were used in cross-continent communication. Via Brillouin scattering, the guided light wave in ...

Multiple Light Coupling and Routing via a Microspherical Resonator Integrated in a T-Shaped Optical Fiber Configuration System

Georgia Konstantinou

We demonstrate a three-port, light guiding and routing T-shaped configuration based on the combination of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) and micro-structured optical fibers (MOFs). This system includes a single mode optical fiber taper (SOFT), a slightly ...

State-Of-The-Art of Research on Distributed Optical Fibre Sensors

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang

Optical fibres offer the possibility to realize distributed sensing, which means that each point along the fibre can separately and selectively sense quantities such as temperature, strain, acoustics, and pressure, in total similarity to a real organic ner ...
