Which consequence occurs when pulsed laser light coherence collapses?

💡 Explanation

Reduced temporal coherence in pulsed lasers causes blurred interference because different parts of the pulse no longer maintain a constant phase relationship, leading to decreased speckle contrast. Therefore, speckle visibility diminishes, rather than increased directionality or shifted wavelengths.
