Which failure mode results when a pulsed laser's power increases without appropriate dispersion compensation?

💡 Explanation

Stimulated Raman scattering induced damage rises because the high peak power within short pulses causes nonlinear optical effects to escalate leading to material breakdown. Therefore, material damage is likely rather than ASE increases without high power or reduced mode locking directly.
