← ScienceWhich consequence results when stimulated Brillouin scattering occurs in fiber optics?
A)Signal power transfers to acoustic wave✓
B)Polarization mode dispersion increases linearly
C)Chromatic dispersion minimizes pulse spreading
D)Four-wave mixing prevents efficient transmission
💡 Explanation
Signal power transfers to backwards propagating acoustic wave because stimulated Brillouin scattering amplifies the acoustic phonons. Therefore, significant optical power is lost rather than efficiently transmitted, because this process induces refractive index grating.
