Which phenomenon limits usable fringe visibility using low-coherence interferometry?

💡 Explanation

Increased optical path length difference affects fringe visibility most because the coherence length defines the maximum tolerable path gap for interference; the self-interference decays quickly therefore, causing fringes to vanish rather than remain weakly discernible.
