← ScienceWhich consequence results when imperfections cause variations in fiber optic refractive index?
A)Increased modal dispersion occurs✓
B)Reduced optical signal amplification
C)Enhanced polarization mode splitting
D)Decreased nonlinear optical effects
💡 Explanation
Increased modal dispersion occurs because variations induce distortions; therefore, light rays follow different paths creating time differences using constructive and destructive interference, rather than uniform transit, under ideal fiber properties and propagation without refractive index changes.
