Which optical effect limits channel capacity increases in dense wavelength division multiplexing?

💡 Explanation

Four-wave mixing generates new frequencies from interactions of multiple signals’ wavelengths because high optical power causes fiber non-linearity, therefore it adds unwanted signals that interfere, rather than chromatic dispersion which causes pulse broadening.
