Which risk increases during laser-based material processing without aligned input polarization?

💡 Explanation

Non-aligned polarization leads to uneven energy absorption because Fresnel equations dictate that absorptivity depends on polarization direction; therefore, inconsistent removal occurs, rather than even heating or reflection, which are more related to intensity or angle.
