Which risk increases significantly when laser beam coherence degrades in LIDAR?

💡 Explanation

Degraded coherence decreases the laser pulse's ability to interfere constructively upon reflection; speckle reduces the signal relative to noise because the *speckle effect* reduces discrimination. Therefore, the odds of inaccurately registering signals from sidelobes rises, rather than signal clarity improving.
