Abstract

A scheme is presented for amplifying weak Stokes signals from sea water with different salinities and temperatures by Brillouin amplification. CS 2 whose Brillouin shift is near to that of water's is chosen as amplifier medium. A frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser is used to produce single-mode pulses of 7.2-ns duration. Results show that weak Stokes signals arising from water in the temperature range of 2°C to 40°C and salinity range of 0‰ to 35‰ can be amplified efficiently at room temperature. Signal gains as high as 107 were achieved with input signal energy in the order of pJ in experiment.
