Abstract
The single-mode optical fibers have a core region that includes an inner core region having a delta value Δ1 and a radius r1 immediately surrounded by an outer core region of radius r2 and a delta value Δ2<Δ1, wherein Δ1-Δ2 is in the range from 0.3% to 2%. A cladding region of radius r3 immediately surrounds the core region. The inner and outer regions define an annular width δr=r2−r1. At least one of r1, r2, δr and r3 changes with a period p in the longitudinal direction between first and second values each having a corresponding level distance dF. The change occurs over a transition distance dT such that dT/dF<0.1. The Brillouin frequency shift Δf changes by an amount δ[Δf] that is least 10 MHz over each period p, thereby allowing for Brillouin frequency-shift management in fiber-based sensor systems.
