coherence length [kō′hir·əns ‚leŋkth]

(physics)

For a beam of particles, the typical length of a wave packet along the beam; the more monochromatic the beam, the greater its coherence length.

(solid-state physics)

A measure of the distance through which the effect of any local disturbance is spread out in a superconducting material. Also known as coherence distance.
