Which consequence results when coherence degrades in OTDR?

💡 Explanation

Decreased temporal coherence broadens the effective laser linewidth; therefore, Rayleigh backscattering produces uncorrelated signals and signal averaging is less effective, causing a higher noise floor, rather than improved resolution because longer coherent signals interfere constructively.
