Which outcome occurs when a pump laser's coherence diminishes within an interferometer?

💡 Explanation

Reduced laser coherence broadens the spectral linewidth and shortens temporal coherence, and thus reduces interference contrast via **wavefront division**, leading to decreased fringe visibility. This happens because interference relies on consistent phase relationships, therefore fringes wash out, rather than other options; different parameter needs control.
