Which risk increases when photonic crystal fiber's periodicity degrades?

💡 Explanation

Degraded periodicity disrupts the photonic band gap because it alters light guidance via Bragg scattering, causing light to leak from designed pathways; therefore, confinement in lower-order modes weakens, rather than enhanced scattering or modified dispersion, which necessitate fine-tuned fiber structure.
