Which consequence results when cladding index mismatch occurs during optical fiber propagation?

💡 Explanation

Signal distortion occurs because index mismatch increases *modal dispersion*, broadening the pulse in optical fibers. Therefore, the overall amount of distortion increases, rather than Brillouin/Raman scattering because these are material effects unrelated to modal confinement.
