Which effect dominates the laser's performance when spatial coherence degrades?

💡 Explanation

Increased beam divergence occurs when spatial coherence decreases because constructive interference across the beam's wavefront is diminished. Therefore, the laser's focus broadens, rather than temporal effects dominating, because spatial, not temporal, coherence is the parameter affected.
