A Brief Review of Specialty Optical Fibers for Brillouin-Scattering-Based Distributed Sensors

Specialty optical fibers employed in Brillouin-based distributed sensors are briefly reviewed. The optical and acoustic waveguide properties of silicate glass optical fiber first are examined with the goal of constructing a designer Brillouin gain spectrum. Next, materials and their effects on the r...
