Which outcome occurs when a material's surface roughness severely exceeds the coherence length in laser machining?

💡 Explanation

Ablation rate falls because incoherent superposition weakens the intensity. Surface roughness exceeding the coherence length causes destructive interference, therefore reducing the energy available via laser interference, rather than specular reflection or increasing harmonic generation because coherence is needed.
