← ScienceWhich consequence results when optical Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy lacks coherence?
A)Fringes smear during signal averaging✓
B)Absorption signal fades too rapidly
C)Mode-locking shifts the cavity peak
D)Frequency comb is insufficiently stable
💡 Explanation
Incoherent light sources in CRDS cause fringe smearing during the averaging stage because the unpredictable phase changes introduce noise, therefore the signal loses definition, rather than a rapid decay which is tied to ring-down time rather than sample properties.
