← TechnologyWhich signal distortion increases when transmitting data through a fiber-optic cable at a power level exceeding the Raman scattering threshold?
A)Stimulated Brillouin Scattering
B)Four-Wave Mixing intensity✓
C)Chromatic Dispersion degradation
D)Polarization Mode Dispersion loss
💡 Explanation
Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) increases because high optical power causes non-linear interactions between different wavelengths present in the signal, therefore generating new frequencies that interfere, rather than experiencing scattering effects dominant at lower power thresholds like Stimulated Brillouin Scattering.
