Which data loss occurs when a birefringent fiber optic cable experiences stress?

💡 Explanation

Stress-induced birefringence causes differential group delay through polarization mode dispersion because fiber asymmetry affects orthogonal polarization propagation, therefore signals arrive at different times, rather than energy loss due to scattering. Rayleigh scattering remains unaffected, however.
