Which outcome results when exceeding the coherence length in laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT)?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding coherence limits interference which degrades beam focusing profile within the material target because reduced spatial coherence broadens the area of high energy density; therefore resolution is traded for more total energy at a target rather than sharp features, rather than uniform increase because of constructive regions dominating.
