Which consequence results when optical fiber birefringence induces polarization mode dispersion?

💡 Explanation

Optical fiber birefringence introduces differing refractive indices, causing polarization mode dispersion; because different polarization modes travel at varying speeds, pulse broadening occurs influencing data rate. Therefore, pulse broadening limits fiber communication speeds, rather than affecting reflectivity or coherence.
