← TechnologyWhich failure eventuates when exceeding a fiber's chromatic dispersion limit using WDM?
A)Bit-Error Rate degradation✓
B)Polarization Mode Dispersion increase
C)Four-wave mixing amplification
D)Stimulated Brillouin Scattering threshold
💡 Explanation
Exceeding the dispersion limit causes pulse broadening via chromatic dispersion, therefore increasing inter-symbol interference triggering bit-error rate degradation. Bit-error problems emerge, rather than power dependent nonlinear effects because dispersion is the dominating effect, initially.
