We proposed and demonstrated an all-fiber scheme for optical spectrum measurement based on stimulated Brillouin scattering and frequency self-sweeping laser without external driver and frequency tunable elements. The resolution and measuring range of proposed analyzer is measured to be 23 MHz and 5 THz respectively. The ways for improvement of the device characteristics are discussed.
