摘要： An optical fiber for the transmission of electromagnetic energy, where the fiber can have increased input power threshold for the onset of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS). The fiber can comprise a core and a cladding disposed about the core. The core can have a distribution of velocities for an acoustic wave associated with SBS, where the distribution of propagation velocities of the core for the acoustic wave is at least one of a) azimuthally asymmetric or b) non-constant in an azimuthal plane and longitudinally asymmetric. The fiber can be longitudinally asymmetric wherein the core includes a first portion having a propagation velocity for the acoustic wave that is substantially the same throughout interposed between longitudinally spaced portions each having a propagation velocity different than that of said first portion. Methods, such as, for example, methods for fabricating and/or using a fiber having an increased threshold input power for the onset of SBS, are also disclosed.

One of the regions can comprise the first core and the other comprises the second core. The preform can be drawn with rotation to provide a fiber wherein a first core of the fiber is multimode at a selected wavelength of operation and a second core of the fiber is spaced from and winds around the first core and has a selected longitudinal pitch. The second core of the fiber can couple to a higher order mode of the first core and increase the attenuation thereof relative to the fundamental mode of the first core.
