We present a method for generating cascaded forward Brillouin scattering (CFBS) on the basis of a counter-propagated pump-probe technique with backward stimulated Brillouin scattering used as its seed. The CFBS, induced by forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS), is generated via the energy transfer from the probe light to other acoustic resonance frequencies. The CFBS spectrum generated in a 390-m-long highly nonlinear fiber exhibits a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the center frequencies of its acoustic resonance peaks agree with theoretical values. In addition, the SNR dependence on pump/probe powers and the CFBS frequency shift dependence on temperature are investigated.
