Which consequence results when thermal lensing exceeds laser’s limit?

💡 Explanation

Thermal lensing introduces a temperature-dependent refractive index gradient that distorts the laser beam's path, because it acts as an unwanted lens. Therefore, beam quality suffers and becomes unstable, rather than increased coherent power, as beam divergence increases.
