Which limitation on bandwidth results when a photodiode detects an incident pulsed optical signal?

💡 Explanation

Pulse broadening limits data rate because intersymbol interference occurs as broadened pulses overlap in time, and it's caused by dispersion phenomena affecting the light pulses passing through the optical components; therefore, the transmission suffers, rather than other options like frequency shift by chromatic dispersion.
