Which effect would mask waveguide-based sensor readings due to surface imperfections?

💡 Explanation

Speckle artifacts degrade sensor fidelity because multiple coherent modes undergo constructive and destructive interference at the detector. Therefore speckle patterns appear, rather than a clean signal, because the interference obscures the desired optical changes related to the measurand.
