Abstract
The authors measure the stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold for a CW (continuous wave) laser externally modulated with an AM-VSB (amplitude modulation vestigial sideband) CATV (cable television) signal. The threshold is essentially unchanged from the unmodulated case. For injected powers above the threshold power, substantial degradation of the carrier to noise ratio is seen.<>
