← TechnologyWhich risk increases when attempting significant amplification of DWDM optical signals?
A)Increased stimulated brillouin scattering✓
B)Reduced four-wave mixing efficiency
C)Lower material dispersion overall
D)Decreased self-phase modulation index
💡 Explanation
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) becomes problematic because it converts the high-power signal into backward-propagating acoustic phonons, therefore, signal power reduces dramatically, rather than achieving amplification as its intensity goes past a specific threshold.
