Which outcome diminishes signal clarity when optical fiber bends?

A)Increased intermodal dispersion penalty
B)Reduced stimulated Brillouin scattering
C)Enhanced four-wave mixing efficiency
D)Decreased self-phase modulation effect

💡 Explanation

Increased bending induces constructive and destructive **interference**, because the path lengths of light modes differ after reflection at the bend. Therefore, the increased intermodal dispersion penalty causes signal distortion; rather than other nonlinear effects which occur at high power.
