Abstract
This article systematically studies and compares the Brillouin characteristics of single-mode fiber (SMF), few-mode fiber (FMF) and multi-mode fiber (MMF). The Brillouin frequency shift (BFS), Brillouin linewidth, gain peak, and Brillouin gain spectrum of different types of optical fibers in the case of single mode and mode superposition are investigated. The results show that in single mode case, the BFS, Brillouin linewidth, and gain peak of the FMF and MMF decrease as the mode order increases. Considering the mode superposition case, the SMF has the largest BFS, followed by the MMF, and the smallest is FMF. The MMF has the largest Brillouin linewidth, followed by the FMF, and the smallest is SMF. The SMF has the largest gain peak, followed by FMF, and the smallest for MMF. This work provides an important reference value for the further study of Brillouin distributed fiber optical sensors.
