Investigation on the influence of humidity on stimulated Brillouin backscattering in perfluorinated polymer optical fibers
In this paper perfluorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers are characterized with respect to the influence of relative humidity changes on spectral transmission absorption and Rayleigh backscattering. The hygroscopic and thermal expansion coefficient of the fiber are determined to be CHE = (7.4 +/- 0.1) 10^-6 %r.h.^-1 and CTE = (22.7 +/- 0.3) 10^-6 K^-1, respectively. The influence of humidity on the Brillouin backscattering power and linewidth are presented for the first time to our knowledge. The Brillouin backscattering power at a pump wavelength of 1319 nm is affected by temperature and humidity. The Brillouin linewidth is observed to be a function of temperature but not of humidity. The strain coefficient of the BFS is determined to be CS = (146.5 +/- 0.9) MHz/% for a wavelength of 1319 nm within a strain range from 0.1 % to 1.5 %. The obtained results demonstrate that the humidity-induced Brillouin frequency shift is predominantly caused by the swelling of the fiber over-cladding that leads to fiber straining.
