Which mechanism limits coherence when a pulsed laser ablates metal?

💡 Explanation

Plasma plume expansion causes coherence loss because the rapid change in refractive index randomly shifts the laser's phase. Stimulated Raman scattering would need specific target, therefore it is not the main mechanism; chromatic aberration requires lenses.
