Which functional degradation appears in fiber optic communication due to modal dispersion?

💡 Explanation

Pulse broadening occurs because differences in the group velocity of various modes lead to different arrival times; therefore signals spread over time, and the effects of modal dispersion introduce Inter-symbol Interference limiting the maximum data rate, rather than refraction errors or chromatic aberrations.
