← TechnologyWhich 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.
