Which precision is lost when laser coherence degrades?

💡 Explanation

Decreased laser coherence reduces the ability to produce sharp, predictable interference patterns from the light source, because the extended waves have varying phase delays and are no longer constructively interfering; therefore the sharp image fades, rather than any effects regarding reflection or harmonic conversion, even in conditions such as optical cavities.
