Which consequence results when a resonant cavity containing a non-linear crystal experiences excessive pulsed laser energy?

💡 Explanation

Optical damage occurs as excessive photon energy causes multi-photon absorption within the crystal, initiating avalanche ionization exceeding the material's damage threshold because of amplified energy transfer, therefore, bulk damage arises, rather than enhanced function, under high intensity.
