The conventional detection of Forward Brillouin Scattering (FBS) in optical fibers requires of interferometric techniques using lengths of tens of meters. In this paper, we demonstrate an alternative approach that provides efficient and high-resolution detection of FBS signals, while using just a 20 cm length section of bare fiber. It consists of a pump and probe scheme using a fiber ring resonator as the interrogation system of the mechanical vibration, which modulates the resonances. The result is an amplitude modulated optical trace which allows the detection of resonances R0,m and TR2,m.
