Understanding the Coherence of Signals Perhaps the simplest is that coherence is when two signals have the same frequency and maintain a constant phase offset. In other words, the relative phase Δφ (Figures 1 & 2) between the two signals stays constant over time.

What is coherent combining?
Coherent addition (or coherent combining) of lasers is a method of power scaling. It allows increasing the output power and brightness of single-transversal mode laser. Usually, the term coherent addition applies to fiber lasers.
What is the meaning of coherent signal?
So just what is a "coherent signal?" By definition, a coherent signal is a pair of optical signals that have the same frequency and that maintain a constant phase offset. Coherent modulation formats modulate the phase of the coherent light wave (Figure 1).
What is coherence in vibration?
Coherence is an Analyzer graph option in the VibrationVIEW Random and Shock test modules. The coherence graph displays a statistical relationship between two signals at the same frequency. The coherence of two signals, x and y, depends on the phase difference between the signals.
What is coherent process?
coherence, a fixed relationship between the phase of waves in a beam of radiation of a single frequency. Two beams of light are coherent when the phase difference between their waves is constant; they are noncoherent if there is a random or changing phase relationship.
