Which issue arises when combining incoherent laser beams?

💡 Explanation

Incoherent lasers do not maintain a fixed phase relationship, therefore the superposition principle leads to weaker constructive and destructive interference. The mechanism is incoherent superposition, because amplitudes add randomly rather than predictably, and thereby fringe visibility decreases rather than increases.
