Which consequence results from reduced fiber alignment within polarization-maintaining single-mode fiber?

💡 Explanation

Increased polarization mode dispersion occurs because slight misalignment reduces the fiber's ability to preserve polarization. This causes different polarization modes to propagate at slightly different speeds, therefore exacerbating dispersion, rather than affecting scattering, which relates to intensity changes at different non-linear thresholds.
