This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this thesis was to demonstrate the feasibility of combining and cleaning up multiple laser beams via Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in a multi-mode optical fiber. Beam combining via SBS in an optical fiber is of interest because of the low SBS threshold power in an optical fiber allowing low power diode laser beams to be combined into one high power beam. SBS theory and some of the important historical results are described briefly. The experimental results clearly indicate that SBS in multi- mode optical fiber can indeed combine laser beams and clean up the beams at the same time. Both single-pass and ring-cavity geometries were used successfully. The SBS threshold power for the 9.5 micron diameter fiber was 26.5 +/- 0.5 mW for a single-pass setup and 19.7 +/- 0.5 mW for a ring-cavity setup. The SBS power conversion slope efficiency was measured to be 42% for the single-pass setup and 52% for the ring-cavity setup. The SBS signal exhibited both periodic oscillations and random amplitude fluctuations, which are believed to be due to low levels of power used for the experiment. The polarization of the SBS signal was the same as the input laser beam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is the most important example of a stimulated scattering process-light scattering that occurs when the intensity of the light field itself affects the propagating medium. A phenomenon that has been known of for some 35 years in solid state laser research, it has recently become relevant in the optical fiber ind
