← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a long communication fiber abruptly loses coherence?
A)Increased bit error rate begins✓
B)Reduced amplifier gain results instead
C)Scattering losses linearly decrease
D)Polarization mode dispersion reduces
💡 Explanation
Increased bit error occurs, because loss of coherence in optical fibers disrupts constructive and destructive interference patterns used to transmit signals. Therefore, decoding errors increase rather than decreasing loss or polarization issues because coherence ensures signal integrity.
