← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs within a DWDM system due to variations in the refractive index of the fiber optic cable along its length?
A)Increased four-wave mixing power
B)Stimulated Brillouin Scattering reversal
C)Polarization mode dispersion worsening✓
D)Reduced chromatic dispersion effects
💡 Explanation
Polarization mode dispersion worsens because birefringence fluctuations along the fiber length cause different polarization modes to travel at slightly different speeds. Therefore, signal pulses broaden, rather than remain distinct, because phase matching is degraded unevenly.
