Which signal distortion increases when transmitting data through a fiber-optic cable at a power level exceeding the Raman scattering threshold?

💡 Explanation

Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) increases because high optical power causes non-linear interactions between different wavelengths present in the signal, therefore generating new frequencies that interfere, rather than experiencing scattering effects dominant at lower power thresholds like Stimulated Brillouin Scattering.
