Why does coherent light have a relatively constant intensity?

Coherence relates to the physics of waves. Specifically, it refers to a property that allows constant interference. Because interference varies the intensity of light, coherent light has a relatively stable intensity.

Can Fiber Optic Cable lay with electrical cable together. it is right or some interference each other?

Yes, fiber optics work with light pulses rather that electrical charges. One of the main benefits are that there is no EMI(electromagnetic interference) since magnitism does not affect light. Thus there is no problem with laying electrical cables with fiber optic cables.
