← ScienceWhich outcome arises when overlapping laser beams lack temporal coherence?
A)Speckle pattern fluctuations occur✓
B)Diffraction fringes become more distinct
C)Polarization rotates erratically
D)Harmonic generation efficiency increases drastically
💡 Explanation
Speckle pattern fluctuations happen because the **interference** arising from incoherent laser beams varies randomly in time, therefore the speckle changes rapidly rather than remaining static, which only occurs with temporally coherent light sources.
