Abstract

An optical fiber testing method is presented for measuring the change amount for the wave number k of a Brillouin Frequency Shift ν in stimulated Brillouin scattering generated in the same acoustic mode with respect to each target propagation mode. In this way, the ratio of the change amount measured at each propagation mode is acquired as the group delay ratio between the modes.
