What scattering occurs when an acoustic wave travels through the glass fiber degrading signal to noise (S/N) ratio and limiting optical power into a fiber? Stimulated Brillouin Scattering 22. Double Rayleigh backscatter improves the optical link's noise performance False 23. What is the rate of dispersion change with respect to the wavelength at zero dispersion? Slope 24. What is the name of the problem that appears only in very high bandwidth (not an issue until 10Gbps) single mode fiber optic systems? polarization mode 25. The longer the length of an optical fiber, the greater the noise contribution from interferometric intensity noise (IIN). True 26. Microbending or macrobending induced loss is related to what intrinsic factor? Mode field diameter 27. Number one cause of dispersion in multimode fiber-optic systems, allows light to break up into many different paths and smear. modal 28. A narrow ray of light is transmitted through a non-zero- dispersion multimode fiber. If the ray of light is detected by an optical receiver, what will be the result to the output pulse? Longer 29. Interferometric Intensity Noise (IIN) is caused by: Double Rayleigh Scattering 30. Backward scattered light is rescattered in the forward direction and combines with normally transmitted light causing interferometric intensity noise (IIN). Double Rayleigh Scattering ----------------
