Which consequence results when temporal coherence decreases within laser-based distance ranging systems?

💡 Explanation

Reduced temporal coherence diminishes the achievable resolution because interference fringes become less distinct, therefore range precision worsens rather than alternative effects on power, reflection, or divergence, under these defined conditions. The contributing mechanism is interference.
