Which consequence results when compressive stress misaligns optical fiber connectors?

A)Increased polarization mode dispersion
B)Enhanced stimulated Raman scattering
C)Reduced Brillouin scattering threshold
D)Elevated four-wave mixing efficiency

💡 Explanation

Increased polarization mode dispersion occurs because the misalignment induces birefringence within the fiber; therefore, the polarization states propagate at different speeds, because of the stress profile, rather than maintaining uniform propagation.
