Which consequence results when excessive power reflects back into a CW laser?

💡 Explanation

Laser diodes are susceptible to damage from back reflections; therefore, the increased power deposition leads to an increase in junction temperature because of thermal runaway due to decreased resistance, rather than a beneficial operating characteristic.
