Which consequence results when thermally-induced birefringence instability in a high-power laser system exceeds compensation?

💡 Explanation

Increased internal stresses cause depolarization because thermally-induced birefringence modifies polarization states across the beam's profile, initiating beam distortions; therefore, depolarization increases, rather than harmonic generation or gain medium changes under thermal loads.
