Which consequence results when imperfect path length matching degrades fringes during fiber optic interferometry?

A)Visibility of fringes decreases
B)Wavelength-dependent chromatic aberration arises
C)Signal-to-noise ratio significantly increases
D)Polarization mode dispersion becomes amplified

💡 Explanation

Imperfect path length matching reduces fringe visibility because temporal coherence requirements degrade constructive and destructive interference. Therefore, fringe visibility decreases rather than increasing the signal or causing wavelength problems because the mechanism is coherence degradation.
