Which risk increases when multi-path interference occurs in optical fiber communication?

💡 Explanation

Increased bit error rate occurs because multi-path interference causes constructive and destructive interference patterns that distort the signal. This mechanism, intersymbol interference, makes it difficult to distinguish between bits and therefore increases the likelihood of errors, rather than impacting laser function.
