← TechnologyWhich consequence results when rapid temperature changes create mechanical oscillations in the active circuit of a high-power laser?
A)Reduced gain medium lifetime
B)Mode-locking destabilization occurs✓
C)Birefringence compensation fails
D)Spontaneous emission increases
💡 Explanation
Mode-locking destabilization happens in lasers undergoing rapid thermal changes in the active circuit because thermo-optic distortions induce phase shifts that impact cavity stability. Therefore, mode-locking is disrupted rather than maintaining pulse coherence under stable temperature-controlled conditions.
