← ScienceWhich consequence results when misalignment induces etalon interference inside a laser?
A)Spontaneous power output fluctuations occur✓
B)Wavelength-dependent gain enhancement occurs
C)Reduced thermal lensing
D)Increased laser beam coherence
💡 Explanation
The etalon effect introduces modulating losses because reflections within gain cavity exhibit wavelength-selective feedback. Therefore, spontaneous power output fluctuations arise, rather than stable power or coherence improvement, because frequencies undergo constructive and destructive interference.
