Which consequence occurs when exceeding laser gain saturation?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding laser gain saturation disproportionately amplifies weaker modes because of four-wave mixing; therefore mode hopping becomes more prevalent until power decreases, rather than simple power clamping, or inversion collapse which occur for other reasons.
