Which data loss increases during fiber optic wavelength division multiplexing with imperfect channel isolation?

💡 Explanation

Imperfect channel isolation during wavelength division multiplexing causes cross-talk, leading to four-wave mixing (FWM). FWM generates new frequencies from existing wavelengths causing signal distortion therefore increasing data loss, rather than the time-based distortions of ISI.
