← TechnologyWhich error rate increase occurs when chromatic dispersion widens optical pulses?
A)Increased bit error rate✓
B)Reduced amplifier spontaneous emission effect
C)Decreased signal to noise ratio
D)Improved spectral efficiency overall
💡 Explanation
An increased bit error rate results because chromatic dispersion causes pulse broadening, using intersymbol interference as the primary mechanism to overlap adjacent bits distorting data, therefore decreasing signal quality rather than improving noise or efficiency.
