Which consequence results when a confined beam's power increases in an optical fiber approaching the Stimulated Raman Scattering limit?

A)Scattered light induces a frequency shift
B)Fiber experiences increased compressive axial stress
C)Mode coupling decreases signal transmission
D)Material birefringence effect reaches equilibrium

💡 Explanation

Scattered light induces a frequency shift because stimulated Raman scattering causes photons to transfer energy to vibrational modes of the silica, resulting in down-shifted light. This happens because of photon-phonon interactions, therefore, the signal changes frequency, rather than structural changes occurring.
