Which phenomenon causes signal degradation when polarized light passes through strained glass?

💡 Explanation

Stress in glass induces temporary anisotropy that alters the polarization of light—stress-induced birefringence—because the refractive index varies by direction. Therefore, polarization is disrupted, rather than scattered/diffracted, affecting optical transmission in glass under high stress.
