We introduce an optical spectrum analyzer that relies on the linear relationship between optical frequency and the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) in optical fiber. To measure the Brillouin frequency shift, we use the signal under test as a “pump” to excite Brillouin lasing in a fiber ring cavity and use self-referenced heterodyne detection to measure the frequency shift of this Brillouin lasing mode. We present the basic operation of the system and demonstrate wideband measurements over ~48 nm with 20 MHz (0.16 pm) resolution at a measurement rate of 10 kHz.
