← ScienceWhich optical power loss occurs when an incoherent LIDAR pulse scatters?
A)Reduced fringe visibility minimum detection✓
B)Increased Raman scattering signal fidelity
C)Enhanced Brillouin scattering background noise
D)Preserved Rayleigh scattering range resolution
💡 Explanation
Incoherent light reduces fringe visibility because constructive and destructive Interference averages to minimal contrast. Therefore, detecting a sharp signal becomes harder, due to energy dispersed in time; rather than other scattering effects maintaining pulse definition.
