Which consequence results when a pulsed laser's external cavity mirrors become misaligned?

💡 Explanation

Lasing stops because external cavity misalignment reduces optical feedback below the threshold for sustained Amplified Spontaneous Emission. The laser action ceases, therefore gain suppression occurs, rather than shifting wavelengths or increasing less coherent emissions under poor alignment.
