Which outcome occurs when thermally-induced density fluctuations exceed threshold in a high-power laser?

A)Stimulated Brillouin scattering initiates
B)Mode-locking instability broadens pulse
C)Self-phase modulation induces chirping
D)Optical parametric amplification attenuates peak

💡 Explanation

Thermally-induced density fluctuations cause stimulated Brillouin scattering because the acoustic phonons amplify reflected light, reducing laser output; therefore backscattering dominates, rather than chirping. Thermal effects drive this outcome.
