Which consequence results when spatial coherence decreases in an optical parametric amplifier array?

💡 Explanation

Reduced spatial coherence causes destructive interference within the amplifier, therefore degrading overall beam quality by increasing divergence, rather than providing constructive amplification because coherence aligns wavefronts and phases; poor quality degrades output, not improves performance.
