← ScienceWhich limitation impacts long-distance fiber amplifiers reliant on Stimulated Brillouin scattering?
A)Reduced phonon lifetime broadens gain
B)Pump coherence length restricts gain✓
C)Increased fiber dispersion broadens signal
D)Nonlinear refraction index fluctuations diminish
💡 Explanation
Stimulated Brillouin scattering requires a relatively long coherence length of the pump. Because without sufficient coherence, the interaction which amplifies the signal degrades, therefore the maximum achievable gain decreases, rather than limits regarding phonon lifetime broaden response.
