Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A simple method is proposed to estimate the average polarization beat length of single mode fiber (SMF) through the analysis of statistical characteristics of stimulated Brillouin amplified signals. Through launching a variety of pump wave polarizations, the standard deviation of the Brillouin gain is found linearly related with the fiber beat length, within the normal range of beat length values for SMFs. Both the numerical simulations and the experimental results are presented to test the validity of the method. The technique reported here offers a fast, convenient, and low-cost solution to estimate fiber average beat length.
