← ScienceWhich outcome results when stimulated Brillouin scattering creates pulsations?
A)Amplified backward propagating acoustic wave✓
B)Reduced optical fiber core refractive Index
C)Increased transmission signal-to-noise ratio
D)Minimized chromatic dispersion pulse broadening
💡 Explanation
An amplified backward propagating acoustic wave is created by stimulated Brillouin scattering because an intense pump laser generates acoustic phonons via electrostriction. This interaction causes amplification, therefore a backward propagating acoustic wave amplifies, rather than only changes in material properties under normal conditions.
