← TechnologyWhich consequence results when dispersion slope compensation imperfectly equalizes third-order dispersion in coherent optical communication?
A)Increased receiver timing jitter
B)Exaggerated signal sidebands✓
C)Reduced phase noise immunity
D)Enhanced four-wave mixing
💡 Explanation
Imperfect slope compensation leads to residual higher-order dispersion because the **Taylor series truncation** of the dispersion transfer function produces asymmetric broadening of the signal spectrum. Therefore, exaggerated signal sidebands will appear, rather than corrected signal transmission under ideal compensation.
