← ScienceWhich consequence results when elevated vibration causes sub-optimal constructive interference within optical-fibre bundles in a submarine fibre optic cable?
A)Increased signal attenuation (loss)✓
B)Enhanced polarization mode dispersion
C)Reduced chromatic aberration effects
D)Improved signal-to-noise ratio
💡 Explanation
Increased vibration disrupts the consistent path lengths, causing inconsistent constructive and destructive interference, which increases signal attenuation because the signal will weaken due to phase differences rather than consistently strengthen. Option A is therefore correct, rather than improved SNR or reduced dispersion.
