Stimulated Brillouin scattering in SM ZBLAN fiber

► First measurements of stimulated Brillouin scattering in ZBLAN fiber at 1550 nm ► Present method to characterize acousto-optic properties of ZBLAN fiber for the first time ► Measured frequency shift of 7.76 GHz and bandwidth of 38 MHz ► First measurements of some acousto-optic properties in ZBLAN fiber
