← TechnologyWhich consequence results when phase distortion arises in fiber optic pulse propagation?
A)Increased bit error rate✓
B)Reduced laser power output
C)Elevated fiber core temperature
D)Decreased refractive index uniformity
💡 Explanation
Increased bit error rate happens because chromatic dispersion causes pulse broadening through intersymbol interference. The *group delay* distorts the signal’s original temporal shape, therefore, making it harder to decode the individual bits accurately, rather than affect laser power.
