Which outcome occurs when increased vibrations misalign a Sagnac interferometer?

💡 Explanation

Increased vibrations cause random path length variations, affecting the phase difference sensed with Sagnac interference. This results in *fringe blurring* and inaccurate rotation measurements. Therefore accuracy is reduced rather than increasing detectable power because phase information is degraded.
