Abstract

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a high-delta fiber with F-doped depressed inner cladding is studied through considering the interaction of acoustic and optical modes in the fiber. It is found that the number of acoustic modes in the fiber is reduced and the frequency spacing between neighboring modes is enlarged because of the F doping. The dependences of SBS on strain and temperature are measured and compared for each acoustic mode to investigate the feasibility of discriminative sensing of strain and temperature by use of the fiber.
