Which imaging artifact appears when coherence length declines?

💡 Explanation

Speckle contrast degrades because reduced coherence diminishes constructive interference in the image. The mechanism of speckle generation relies on high coherence; therefore, speckle contrast reduces, rather than resolution improving, under limited coherence length.
