Which outcome occurs when cladding refractive index is too high?

A)Increased multimode fiber modal dispersion
B)Decreased single-mode energy propagation
C)Enhanced evanescent field signal recovery
D)Reduced overall fiber manufacturing tolerances

💡 Explanation

Higher cladding index causes increased core to cladding leakage during total internal reflection because the angle for total internal reflection is never achieved anymore, thereby reducing single-mode energy propagation; therefore B, rather than the signals staying in the core.
