← TechnologyWhich risk fundamentally limits data rate scaling in single-mode optical fiber?
A)Modal dispersion broadens optical pulses
B)Chromatic dispersion reduces signal fidelity✓
C)Nonlinear scattering attenuates weaker signals
D)Fresnel reflections generate signal echoes
💡 Explanation
Chromatic dispersion limits data rate because different wavelengths of light travel at slightly different speeds, causing pulse broadening and inter-symbol interference; therefore the signal integrity degrades rather than suffering signal loss or modal effects by other means
