Which risk increases when exceeding stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold in single-mode fiber?

💡 Explanation

Increased stimulated Brillouin scattering causes significant backscattering of the optical signal. This is because the intensity-dependent refractive index modulation generates acoustic phonons, therefore back-reflecting the signal rather than transmitting, under high input power. Chromatic dispersion is unaffected.
