Which distortion increases in optical fiber links undergoing four-wave mixing?

💡 Explanation

Crosstalk increases due to four-wave mixing, which generates new frequencies from interactions between existing channels because the fiber's nonlinear refractive index causes the mixing; therefore, unwanted frequencies overlap channels, rather than contributing desired signal power due to attenuation.
