Which risk increases when using high optical power in a fiber optic communication system?

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Brillouin scattering increases because high optical power causes photons to interact with acoustic phonons in the fiber, therefore, significantly scattering the optical signal back to the source channel, rather than other forms of signal degradation dominating.
