← ScienceWhich consequence results when mismatched polarization occurs in optical fibers?
A)Increased signal insertion loss✓
B)Elevation wavelength pulse broadening
C)Reduced bit capacity limit
D)Higher chromatic dispersion sensitivity
💡 Explanation
Significant signal loss will result from polarization mismatch because Fresnel reflection occurs, reducing the light transmitted into each fiber; therefore, insertion loss rises rather than bit capacity reduction, which stems from other fiber properties contributing to degradation.
