Which outcome reduces fiber optic data transmission when cladding refractive index increases due to thermal fluctuations during high-power laser amplification?

💡 Explanation

Increased cladding index reduces the critical angle for total internal reflection in the core; therefore less light stays confined and the signal attenuation increases. This occurs because of Fresnel refraction, rather than stimulated emission changes or increased scattering inside the fiber.
