Which outcome occurs when a long communication fiber abruptly loses coherence?

💡 Explanation

Increased bit error occurs, because loss of coherence in optical fibers disrupts constructive and destructive interference patterns used to transmit signals. Therefore, decoding errors increase rather than decreasing loss or polarization issues because coherence ensures signal integrity.
