Observation of Backward Guided-Acoustic-Wave Brillouin Scattering in Optical Fibers Using Pump–Probe Technique

We experimentally demonstrate the observation of backward (i.e., opposite of the direction of the pump) guided-acoustic-wave Brillouin scattering (GAWBS) using the pump-probe technique and investigate the spectral dependence on the pump-probe light power. We show that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)...
