Which risk increases when wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems suffer temperature variations?

💡 Explanation

Temperature fluctuations in WDM systems cause channel wavelength drifts, leading to increased inter-channel crosstalk because the channel spacing becomes compromised through *parametric amplification*; therefore, signal integrity decreases rather than improving due to noise reduction.
