Abstract :
Simple waveforms with sub-pulse structure for mitigating stimulated Brillouin scattering in high-power fiber amplifiers using pulse-position-modulated data formats are presented. Experimental measurements show good agreement with theory. The impact on lasercom transmitter design is discussed.
