← TechnologyWhich risk during optical fiber manufacturing escalates under elevated temperature?
A)Increased hydroxyl ion absorption✓
B)Reduced refractive index contrast
C)Enhanced stimulated Raman scattering
D)Decreased material Rayleigh scattering
💡 Explanation
Hydroxyl ion absorption increases with temperature because thermally activated diffusion introduces OH- ions into the fiber matrix causing light attenuation via vibrational absorption; therefore signal loss rises rather than maintaining refractive index or scattering efficiencies, which may exhibit other temperature dependencies.
