Which outcome results when mismatched polarization occurs in DWDM fiber optic communication?

A)Increased bit error rate
B)Reduced chromatic dispersion slope
C)Improved signal-to-noise ratio
D)Enhanced four-wave mixing efficiency

💡 Explanation

Mismatched polarization in DWDM systems causes increased bit error rate because polarisation mode dispersion broadens pulses through differential group delay, a form of destructive interference; therefore data integrity weakens, rather than signal improving or four-wave mixing enhancing if the Polarization maintaining fiber was perfect.
