← TechnologyWhich risk increases when wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems suffer temperature variations?
A)Reduced chromatic dispersion compensation
B)Amplified spontaneous emission reduction
C)Increased inter-channel crosstalk✓
D)Gain flattening degradation averted
💡 Explanation
Temperature fluctuations in WDM systems cause channel wavelength drifts, leading to increased inter-channel crosstalk because the channel spacing becomes compromised through *parametric amplification*; therefore, signal integrity decreases rather than improving due to noise reduction.
