Which consequence results when excessive optical pumping occurs in Ti:sapphire lasers?

A)Population inversion becomes spatially nonuniform.
B)Output beam deviates from Gaussian profile.
C)Optical damage threshold concentration increases.
D)Pulse duration undergoes permanent broadening.

💡 Explanation

Spatially nonuniform population inversion arises in Ti:sapphire lasers due to excessive pumping because amplified stimulated emission preferentially depletes regions of high gain. Therefore, it degrades beam quality, rather than concentrating optical damage or broadening pulses, which relate to different mechanisms.
