← ScienceWhich outcome results when cladding refractive index fails in fiber-laser pumped amplifier?
A)Reduced population inversion efficiency✓
B)Increased thermal lens formation
C)Enhanced stimulated Brillouin scattering
D)Elevated four-wave mixing threshold
💡 Explanation
Reduced population inversion efficiency occurs because insufficient index contrast causes pump light leakage due to incomplete Total Internal Reflection, decreasing the pump absorption efficiency; therefore gain is lowered, rather than signal degradation from nonlinear phenomenon.
