← TechnologyWhich risk increases sharply when EDFA input power is unstable?
A)Four-wave mixing interference✓
B)Raman scattering amplification
C)Chromatic dispersion broadening
D)Polarization mode dispersion
💡 Explanation
Increased four-wave mixing (FWM) interference results because variations in power cause nonlinear refractive index changes, modulating the interacting wavelengths. This leads to spurious frequencies and signal degradation, therefore FWM is increased rather than simple modulation.
