Which consequence results when stimulated Brillouin scattering occurs in fiber optics?

💡 Explanation

Signal power transfers to backwards propagating acoustic wave because stimulated Brillouin scattering amplifies the acoustic phonons. Therefore, significant optical power is lost rather than efficiently transmitted, because this process induces refractive index grating.
