Which transmission impairment accelerates when chromatic dispersion reaches design limits in DWDM systems?

💡 Explanation

Four-wave mixing increases rapidly with poorly-compensated chromatic dispersion in dense wavelength division multiplexing because higher relative delays initiate nonlinear interactions between channels; therefore, unacceptable crosstalk arises rather than simple pulse distortion or enhanced backscattering.
