← ScienceWhich consequence results when mode-locking failure corrupts a pulsed laser?
A)Reduced pulse energy and stability✓
B)Increased beam divergence and aberrations
C)Higher average output laser power
D)Wavelength shifts toward shorter values
💡 Explanation
Mode-locking failure causes inconsistent constructive interference, therefore reducing pulse energy and pulse-to-pulse stability because pulse widths increase rather than maintaining stable, short pulses; average power might be similar.
