Which degradation results when elevated laser temperatures impair DWDM?

💡 Explanation

Wavelength drift impairs DWDM systems because increased laser diode temperature shifts the emission wavelength, exceeding assigned ITU grid spacings; therefore, signal fidelity degrades, rather than chromatic dispersion, stimulated scattering or polarization become the primary impacts.
