← TechnologyWhich risk elevates as laser diode temperature increases within transatlantic fiber optic cables?
A)Increased stimulated Brillouin scattering✓
B)Reduced waveguide dispersion effects
C)Improved amplification gain factors
D)Decreased nonlinear refractive index
💡 Explanation
Higher temperatures increase the phonon population which drives greater stimulated Brillouin scattering. This scattering can severely attenuate the optical signal, therefore signal quality degrades rather than improves with lower dispersion and higher amplification under high temperature conditions.
