Abstract

We analyze the applicability of a widely used formula for the threshold power of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) from paper [1]. On the basis of the experimental studies, numerical simulation, and literature data analysis, it is shown that when the SBS threshold is determined by the 1% criterion of reflected power, it is necessary to use a numerical coefficient of 17, rather than 21. It is also shown that the rounded value of 20 agrees with the definition of the SBS threshold, in which the fraction of power reflected during stimulated Brillouin scattering is 7%.
