Ytterbium-doped LMA fibers also have the advantages of a larger mode field diameter, which negates the impacts of nonlinear effects such as stimulated Brillouin scattering and stimulated Raman scattering, which limit the achievement of higher power levels, and provide a distinct advantage over single mode ytterbium-doped fibers.

See also-pity I can't access it and don't know Mandelstam-Brillouin scattering or what an optical-acoustic soliton is . . . ( but I never did get an answer there; maybe here we'll find out more-and yes, I forgot to access that when I had the chance ) talk ) 19 : 12, 10 February 2011 ( UTC)
