Which consequence results from exceeding the coherence length threshold in a distributed fiber optic sensor array?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding coherence length reduces interference because the optical path difference surpasses the length over which coherent interference can occur; therefore, the interference fringes become less distinct, rather than enhancing power or polarization effects.
