← ScienceWhich limitation arises when high power laser coherence is increased through non-linear crystals?
A)Increased sensitivity to thermal gradients✓
B)Reduced spectral bandwidth of output
C)Greater susceptibility Fresnel diffraction effects
D)Higher pump thresholds Raman scattering
💡 Explanation
Increased coherence leads to spatial modes having increased sensitivity to optical path length variations; this thermo optic effect causes phase distortion because gradients dramatically alter the crystal properties; therefore, precise control becomes harder rather than spectral narrowing or lower threshold effects.
