Abstract

Characteristics of guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering in polarization maintaining fibers are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Spectra of polarized and depolarized scattering are measured for two different types of polarization maintaining fibers: the PANDA(polarization maintaining and absorption reducing) fibers and the elliptical-jacket fibers. Calculated results are in agreement with experimental ones in the low frequency region.
