  • Abstract
    Stimulated Brillouin scattering is used to increase the modulation depth of a weakly-modulated optical signal by rejecting the forward travelling carrier power. For an input power of eight times the stimulated Brillouin threshold an improvement of 8 dB in link loss from 0.1 to 20 GHz is achieved
