Abstract
The recent development of the optical amplifier has led to continual increases in the signal-power level in order to increase the repeater spacing in optical transmission systems. However, the nonlinearities in optical fibers and, in particular, stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) limit the launch power. There have been many reports on the SBS-suppression fibers,1,2 which are based on the nonuniform Brillouin-frequency-shift distribution along the fiber length and which use residual strain and dopant concentration.
