Résumé

In this letter, we experimentally demonstrate a 4-dB increase of the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold in a microstructured optical fiber. This result is obtained by periodically varying the size of the air-hole structure by only 7% amplitude, while keeping a low attenuation coefficient. The efficiency of this passive technique is verified by use of the Brillouin echoes-distributed sensing technique where the Brillouin frequency-shift oscillation is clearly observed.
