← TechnologyWhich risk increases when exceeding stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold in single-mode fiber?
A)Signal power reflections increase✓
B)Chromatic dispersion decreases
C)Polarization mode is suppressed
D)Four-wave mixing is intensified
💡 Explanation
Increased stimulated Brillouin scattering causes significant backscattering of the optical signal. This is because the intensity-dependent refractive index modulation generates acoustic phonons, therefore back-reflecting the signal rather than transmitting, under high input power. Chromatic dispersion is unaffected.
