Which operational problem arises when multiple lasers form a multi-beam interferometer within a materials inspection system?

💡 Explanation

Speckle reduces precision because random interference (the Van Cittert-Zernike theorem) arising from imperfect laser coherence creates granular patterns. Therefore, image quality degrades, rather than chromatic aberration or thermal blooming occurring, due to coherence limits when many beams overlap.
