Which signal distortion is amplified by coherent signal processing in long-distance fiber optic links?

💡 Explanation

Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) increases because coherent detection enhances the signal but also PMD-induced distortions; the processing acts on the received signal adding original PMD and processing artifacts. Therefore, PMD impact increases rather than constant or reducing which arises from other linear/nonlinear issues.
