In this paper, a theoretical model is developed to demonstrate that fluctuations in the Stokes signal and occurrence position contribute to the final compression ratio in stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). This theoretical analysis can be applied to the investigation of the temporal characteristics of SBS pulse compression. This model agrees well with the experimental results in a two-stage SBS compressor.
