← ScienceWhich consequence results when coherence degrades in OTDR?
A)Higher measurement noise floor✓
B)Reduced stimulated Brillouin scattering
C)Increased chromatic dispersion slope
D)Lower four-wave mixing efficiency
💡 Explanation
Decreased temporal coherence broadens the effective laser linewidth; therefore, Rayleigh backscattering produces uncorrelated signals and signal averaging is less effective, causing a higher noise floor, rather than improved resolution because longer coherent signals interfere constructively.
