Analysis and calculation of Brillouin scattering angle and frequency shift in multimode optical fibers
To determine the value range of Brillouin shift in multimode fibers and evaluate the performances of Brillouin scattering-based distributed sensing system
this paper first describes the fiber structures and analyzes the Brillouin scattering process in them on the basis of ray optics theory.Then it proposes a method for determining the value range of Brillouin scattering angle.In this method
it determines that the Brillouin scattering angle in step-index and graded-index multimode fibers is in the range of twice of the critical angle of total reflection toπ
and that the Brillouin shift varies in the range of 10.978
1
1.083 GHz.This conclusion provides a forceful theoretical basis for the design and optimization of the distributed Brillouin sensing system for multimode fibers.
