Which mechanism causes increased signal attenuation across a long single-mode optical fiber link?

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Brillouin Scattering causes signal attenuation in long fiber links because high optical power causes photons to generate acoustic phonons, therefore signal energy is transferred backward rather than towards the receiver; chromatic dispersion does not directly attenuate power.
