← ScienceWhich consequence results when birefringence is misaligned in optical fibers?
A)Polarization mode dispersion increases sharply✓
B)Fiber Bragg grating spectrum shifts
C)Stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold drops
D)Four Wave Mixing efficiency diminishes
💡 Explanation
Polarization mode dispersion emerges from differences in refractive indices along orthogonal axes; because the principal axes are misaligned, energy spreads between polarization modes, therefore increasing pulse broadening, rather than shifting spectra because of tension.
