Abstract

The signal estimate and statistical uncertainty in the measurements of Brillouin shift by the edge technique are analyzed in detail. A signal to noise parameter factor is introduced and is used to discuss the statistical uncertainty in the measurements. The effect of signal averaging and the effect due to background noise are analyzed. Some helpful conclusions are predicted.
