The stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) gain efficiencies were measured in the LP(08) and LP(01) modes of a higher-order-mode optical fiber. Gain efficiencies C(B) of 0.0085 and 0.20 (m-W)(-1) were measured for the LP(08) and LP(01) modes at 1083 nm, respectively. C(B) is inversely proportional to the optical effective area Aeff and the same core-localized acoustic phonon seeds the SBS process in each case. An acoustic modal analysis and a distributed phenomenological model are presented to facilitate the data analysis and interpretation. The LP(08) mode exhibits a threshold powerlength product of 2.5 kW-m.
