Which problem arises due to polarization in fiber-optic communications?

💡 Explanation

Polarization mode dispersion increases distortion because different polarization modes travel at slightly different speeds; therefore pulses spread, rather than other scattering or chromatic effects characterizing other fiber impairments under different conditions.
