Which risk increases when light undergoes stimulated Brillouin scattering in fiber?

A)Signal fading over long distances
B)Increased optical amplifier noise
C)Reduced data-carrying bandwidth
D)Fiber core material degradation accelerates

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Brillouin scattering generates an acoustic phonon and a backscattered wave, because power is transferred backwards via this non-linear effect. Therefore, signal fading increases with incident intensity, rather than degradation which occurs at higher power thresholds.
