← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a transmitting laser in a fiber optic communication system experiences chirp?
A)Increased signal dispersion✓
B)Reduced amplifier gain
C)Lowered receiver sensitivity
D)Enhanced signal multiplexing
💡 Explanation
Increased signal dispersion results because *frequency chirping* introduces variations in the laser's optical frequency, causing different wavelength components of the signal to travel at varying speeds. Therefore, pulse broadening occurs, leading to signal distortion, rather than stable signals in a fiber optic system.
