Which consequence results when stimulated emission nonuniformity occurs in a pulsed laser amplifier?

💡 Explanation

Spatial mode distortion becomes significant because gain variations amplify different spatial frequencies unevenly via non-uniform stimulated emission; therefore, beam quality degrades, rather than achieving benefits like enhanced efficiency or pulse compression, which require uniform amplification.
