Which phenomenon reduces fringe visibility when spectral linewidth broadens in Michelson interferometry?

💡 Explanation

Temporal coherence is inversely proportional laser's spectral linewidth; increased linewidth reduces coherence, smearing out interference fringes, because different wavelengths interfere destructively. Therefore, temporal coherence reduces fringe visibility rather than spatial coherence degradation, which dominates off-axis.
