← ScienceWhich consequence results when dispersion exceeds design limits in single-mode fiber?
A)Signal integrity degrades significantly✓
B)Refractive index profile is unaffected
C)Fiber material undergoes plastic deformation
D)Numerical aperture approaches unity
💡 Explanation
Increased dispersion broadens optical pulses using group velocity dispersion, therefore leading to inter-symbol interference and signal degradation because separate pulses overlap, rather than cleaner separation with lower dispersion.
