When elevated optical power destabilizes a single-mode fiber's refractive index, which outcome occurs?

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) results when high optical power causes density fluctuations. This creates acoustic phonons, scattering light because the light interacts with the material, rather than ideal transmission. Therefore, SBS dominates rather than alternative linear scattering.
