Which 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.
