Optical fiber type | Advantage | Disadvantage |
---|
Polarization-maintaining fiber | Good polarization state retention is beneficial to stimulate the SBS effect | High cost | Single-mode fiber | Uniform refractive index distribution, low cost, wide application | SBS effect is not easily induced | Few-mode optical fiber | Different modes are beneficial to separation of pump light, detection light and reflected light | Complex experimental system | Photonic crystal fiber | High nonlinearity is beneficial to stimulate SBS effect and reduce pump light power | High cost |
