Which outcome occurs when the temporal coherence of an atomic clock's laser pumping system degrades?

💡 Explanation

Degrading coherence reduces the monochromaticity of the pumping laser, and broadens the spectrum of interrogation. This is linewidth broadening because frequency precision degrades; therefore, increased frequency instability occurs, rather than stabilizing the beam or suppressing Doppler effects, both desirable features.
