Which optical risk increases when aligning a high-power laser?

💡 Explanation

Misalignment can direct the intensive and coherent beam into the eye, and the **photothermal effect** rapidly heats the tissue. Therefore, thermal burns occur rather than diffraction or pump inefficiencies because alignment creates direct, concentrated exposure.
