← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when multi-mode fibers experience modal dispersion?
A)Pulse broadening reduces data rate✓
B)Higher intensity increases signal purity
C)Optical power is unaffected primarily
D)Loss increases, better heat rejection
💡 Explanation
Modal dispersion arises when different modes travel at different speeds through the fiber, because each mode traverses a distinct optical path. This causes constructive and destructive interference, therefore pulse broadening reduces data capacity, rather than increased intensity under stable conditions.
