Abstract
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fiber (POF) with core diameter was experimentally observed for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, at wavelength with the pump–probe technique. Compared to spontaneous Brillouin scattering previously reported, the Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS) was detected with an extremely high signal-to-noise ratio, even with a short POF () and scrambled polarization state. We also investigated the BGS dependences on probe power and temperature, which indicate that SBS in a POF measured with this technique can be utilized to develop high-accuracy temperature sensing systems.
