Abstract
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in a photonic crystal fiber is suppressed by doping the individual core segments such that the Brillouin frequency of each segment is sufficiently different from the neighboring segments that Brillouin scattered light from one core segment sees negligible gain from the other core segments, whereby higher power narrow-linewidth optical fiber amplifiers and lasers may be obtained. The optical properties of the guiding medium are preserved through the careful design of the core and the lattice structure.
