← ScienceWhich consequence results when insufficient cooling causes misalignment in a high-power laser?
A)Reduced photon emission efficiency
B)Mode hopping increases dramatically
C)Cavity length becomes unstable✓
D)Increased stimulated Raman scattering
💡 Explanation
Insufficient cooling causes thermal expansion resulting in changes to cavity length, and therefore mode characteristics via thermal lensing; because mode stability depends on cavity length, it destabilizes rather than photon production decrease or other non resonant-scattering.
