Which performance degradation follows when surface variations greatly exceeds coherence length?

💡 Explanation

Speckle noise arises because surface irregularities exceeding the laser's coherence length create random amplitude variations. This leads to constructive and destructive interference, forming speckle. Therefore, speckle noise compromises image quality, rather than changes in laser intensity in well-designed laser gain media/optics.
