Which transmission impairment increases during wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems?

💡 Explanation

Four-wave mixing (FWM) non-linearity increases because high optical power and multiple wavelengths interact. This generates new frequencies that interfere with signals, therefore disrupting channels rather than causing simple delay or scattering effects because of the nonlinear interactions.
