Above a laser's gain medium critical temperature, which consequence results from weakened stimulated emission?

💡 Explanation

Reduced population inversion efficiency appears because thermal fluctuations reduce the occupancy of higher energy levels, diminishing the rate of Stimulated Emission; therefore, the optical gain decreases, rather than an increase amplified spontaneous emission, whose rate is less temperature-sensitive.
