Which outcome occurs when the coherence length of laser decreases inside a fiber-optic gyroscope?

💡 Explanation

Reduced coherence length increases random phase fluctuations due to a larger spectral bandwidth; Optical Path Difference mismatch causes decoherence because shorter coherence means less temporal overlap; therefore, noise floor increases rather than increased fringe visibility under constant power.
