Which effect occurs when a laser beam traverses a turbulent medium?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence introduces random phase shifts, causing *de-coherence*. This is because the irregular refractive index fluctuations disrupt the wavefront correlation, which reduces spatial coherence therefore. Pulse duration increases, rather than reduces, without stabilization techniques.
