Abstract
To describe the interplay between the first-order Stokes, pump, and signal in the multicore fiber amplifier, a set of differential equations is presented. The model takes into account the dependence of the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) on the pump-induced temperature distribution along the fiber. The influence of pump schemes, pump powers, convective coefficient, density of the rare earth dopant ( N) and fiber length on suppression of the SBS is studied. The backward pump scheme has advantage over forward pump scheme in suppression of SBS. For the SBS gain spectrum, reducing convective coefficient can decrease the maximum SBS gain and increase the frequency detuning corresponding to the maximum SBS gain. Increasing N can lead to higher slope efficiency and shorter optimal fiber length, which can further suppress SBS. The SBS gain ( G) and maximum operating temperature are compared between the single core fiber amplifier and multicore fiber amplifier with the same optimal fiber length. Compared to the single core fiber amplifier, the multicore fiber amplifier has lower maximum operating temperatures, which provide more space for further increasing output power.
