Which consequence results when a transmitting laser in a fiber optic communication system experiences chirp?

💡 Explanation

Increased signal dispersion results because *frequency chirping* introduces variations in the laser's optical frequency, causing different wavelength components of the signal to travel at varying speeds. Therefore, pulse broadening occurs, leading to signal distortion, rather than stable signals in a fiber optic system.
