Amplification effect of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) lines on the forward pumped s-band discrete DCF fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) has been studied.Pump threshold power of the forward first order Stokes SBS (FSB1- ),second order Stokes SBS (FSB2-) and third order SBS (FSB3-) in the forward pumped FRA are 1.5 mW,1.4 mW and 1.7 mW,respectively.The Stokes SBS lines are amplified by FRA and fiber Brillouin amplifier (FBA) at the same time.Gain of amplification is given as GA=GR·GB,where GR is Raman gain and GB is Brillouin gain.Saturation gain of FSB1-,FSB2- and FSB3- are about 52 dB,65 dB and 65 dB,respectively.The saturation Raman gain of 10 km DCF forward FRA is about 14 dB,so Brillouin gain of FSB1-,FSB2- and FSB3- are about 38 dB,51 dB and 51 dB,respectively.The forward cascaded SBS lines have been observed.
