← TechnologyWhich risk increases for fiber-optic communication systems when employing excessively high pump power in Raman amplification?
A)Increased four-wave mixing noise✓
B)Reduced chromatic dispersion effects
C)Decreased stimulated Brillouin scattering
D)Minimal signal extinction ratio impact
💡 Explanation
Increased four-wave mixing noise rises because high pump power enhances nonlinear interactions, leading to the generation of spurious signals through the four-wave mixing mechanism. Therefore, excessive power degrades SNR, rather than improving signal transmission since spurious signal rise.
