Which effect causes signal degradation in long-haul fiber-optic communication using laser pulses?

💡 Explanation

Chromatic dispersion causes different wavelengths within the laser pulse to travel at slightly differing speeds, therefore pulse broadening increases with distance because the varying speeds causes the pulse to spread, rather than reflection or scattering issues.
