Which risk increases when a high-power laser's beam delivery fiber optic core diameter narrows?

A)Increased stimulated Brillouin scattering
B)Reduced intermodal dispersion effects
C)Elevated Fresnel reflection losses
D)Decreased sensitivity to polarization mode

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Brillouin scattering increases because the higher optical intensity leads to a stronger interaction between photons and phonons. Therefore, SBS is elevated, rather than reduced dispersion, and is dominant because core narrowing doesn't inherently affect reflection or polarization.
