Which constraint limits the maximum possible laser pulse intensity?

💡 Explanation

Optical breakdown limits pulse intensity. This constraint rises because above a threshold, ionization becomes highly effective via avalanche ionization leading to rapid plasma formation destructive to the medium; therefore breakdown is the constraint rather than efficiency or gain.
