摘要
The most general model of elliptical birefringence in an optical fiber has been developed for a steady-state and transient stimulated Brillouin scattering interaction. The impact of the elliptical birefringence is to induce a Brillouin frequency shift and distort the Brillouin spectrum-which varies with different light polarizations and pulsewidths. The model investigates the effects of birefringence and the corresponding evolution of spectral distortion effects along the fiber, providing a valuable prediction tool for distributed sensing applications.
