Which risk increases when light undergoes stimulated Brillouin scattering in fiber?

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Brillouin scattering generates an acoustic phonon and a backscattered wave, because power is transferred backwards via this non-linear effect. Therefore, signal fading increases with incident intensity, rather than degradation which occurs at higher power thresholds.
