Abstract

We observe the distortion of the back scattered Stokes pulse and the complementary distortion of the transmitted pulse by the stimulated Brillouin scattering when a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulse injected into a single mode optical fiber. We determine the constant required energy for the SBS by comparing their temporal shapes.
