Which impairment develops when intersymbol interference (ISI) overwhelms decision thresholding in fiber optic signal regeneration?

💡 Explanation

Increased bit error rate results because the intersymbol interference causes overlapping of adjacent symbols at the receiver, making it difficult to distinguish individual bits correctly; therefore bit errors rise sharply rather than spectral efficiency loss from suboptimal modulation.
