Which consequence results when a short-pulse laser induces avalanche ionization in transparent material?

💡 Explanation

Permanent damage from optical breakdown occurs because the mechanism amplifies free electrons, increasing absorption and plasma formation. Therefore catastrophic failure happens, rather than index changes because high intensity light causes immediate damage.
