← ScienceWhich risk increases when unpolarized signals enter fiber optics?
A)Birefringence causes polarization mode dispersion✓
B)Increased Raman amplification noise floor
C)Four-wave mixing generates new frequencies
D)Reduced stimulated Brillouin bandwidth
💡 Explanation
Polarization mode dispersion increases because random polarizations entering a fiber experience different refractive indices leading to varying propagation speeds; therefore the signal broadens, rather than amplification or frequency effects happening with stimulated scattering.
