Which consequence results when dispersion slope compensation imperfectly equalizes third-order dispersion in coherent optical communication?

A)Increased receiver timing jitter
B)Exaggerated signal sidebands
C)Reduced phase noise immunity
D)Enhanced four-wave mixing

💡 Explanation

Imperfect slope compensation leads to residual higher-order dispersion because the **Taylor series truncation** of the dispersion transfer function produces asymmetric broadening of the signal spectrum. Therefore, exaggerated signal sidebands will appear, rather than corrected signal transmission under ideal compensation.
