← ScienceWhich effect increases when imperfections alter integrated waveguide dimensions?
A)Increased optical path length difference✓
B)Reduced material refractive index
C)Decreased Fresnel reflection losses
D)Enhanced stimulated Brillouin scattering
💡 Explanation
Increased optical path length differences arising from imperfections cause destructive interference at the waveguide output because the phase relationship is disrupted. Therefore, undesired modes appear, rather than reduced transmission losses under ideal constant dimensions expected.
