Which effect compromises optical image reconstruction when interferometer coherence diminishes?

💡 Explanation

Decreasing coherence disrupts interference patterns by phase variations. This causes fringe visibility to deteriorate, because constructive and destructive interferences weaken owing to temporal scrambling, therefore blurring the reconstructed image, rather than influencing aberrations.
