Which mechanism causes increased speckle contrast when a highly coherent laser illuminates a rough surface?

A)Multiple-beam interference increases irradiance variation
B)Raman scattering reduces wavelength uniformity
C)Fresnel diffraction enhances edge effects
D)Photobleaching decreases surface reflectivity

💡 Explanation

Multiple-beam interference causes constructive and destructive interference of reflected waves therefore increasing speckle contrast, because waves add in phase or out of phase, rather than Raman scattering altering wavelength uniformity or other effects arising from laser exposure.
