Summary:
We propose a simple measurement method of the Brillouin gain/phase characteristics in optical fibers based on the pump and probe technique using a doubly- modulated single light source. Our method is based on the phenomena that an intensity modulated optical waveform having the same order of the Brillouin bandwidth is distorted by the Brillouin phase and gain spectra. The availability of the method is studied analytically and experimentally.
