Which risk increases when birefringent material stresses optical fibers?

💡 Explanation

Stress induces additional birefringence, initiating polarization mode dispersion because of variations in refractive indices; therefore, increased dispersion becomes likely, rather than improved aberration or alternative fiber effects under these conditions.
